The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday asked President Barack Obama's administration for its views on whether it should take up a case involving an important interpretation of federal special education law. In the special education case, a Pennsylvania school district, joined by several school groups, is asking the high court to interpret an aspect of the "stay-put" provision of the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). That provision means a child stays in his or her current educational placement during administrative and legal proceedings over a disputed education plan.
