In all honesty, I would still have to side with the parents although my reasoning is different. I feel like for the first 5 years of Garrett's education was paid for by his parents using the money from the settlement but once that funding ran out, the only place that his parents could turn to was to the school. The school cannot deny Garrett an education because that would be breaking IDEA and NCLB laws, which clearly state that a school district cannot refuse to permit a child to receive their education just because their expenses are too much. The parents did everything that they could to provide for their son's needs but things (money) became tight to the point where they could no longer pay for the in-school care that he needed. The school can't keep a child from receiving their education just because of expenses.
