. If a parent or guardian of an individual with exceptional
needs, who previously received special education and related services
under the authority of the local educational agency, enrolls the
child in a private elementary or secondary school without the consent
of or referral by the local educational agency, a court or a due
process hearing officer may require the local educational agency to
reimburse the parent or guardian for the cost of that enrollment if
the court or due process hearing officer finds that the local
educational agency had not made a free appropriate public education
available to the child in a timely manner prior to that enrollment in
the private elementary or secondary school and that the private
placement is appropriate, in accordance with Section 1412(a)(10)(C)
(ii) of Title 20 of the United States Code and Section 300.148(c) of
Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
