## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- stating, “we do not reach, nor do we express an opinion on, whether the 26 No. 07-20817 State defendants are entitled under IDEA to reimbursement” if the private placement is held to have been unnecessary

## Opinion text

KING, Circuit Judge,
specially concurring:
I concur in the judgment and in the opinion, except for Parts II.B and II.C, which contain dicta implying that the Louisiana Department of Education may be entitled to recoup from the Slocums all or part of the expenses that it incurred in paying for the Heartspring placement during the stay-put period. Resolution of these interlocutory appeals does not require us to address the issue of whether and under what circumstances the IDEA may authorize the Department’s recoupment of costs incurred during the stay-put period.
