NYC Education Department to Reimburse The Child of Tom Freston's Tuition

The city’s education department will have to pay for the education of Tom Freston’s ADHD diagnosed son. Freston, presently a member of the DreamWorks board, has a Viacom exit package worth an estimated $85 million. From The New York Times:

”New York City pays for private schools for more than 7,000 severely handicapped children because it agrees that it cannot properly instruct them. But, officials said, requests for tuition payments for special education students by parents who have placed their children in private school on their own have more than doubled in five years, to 3,675 in 2006 from 1,519 in 2002.
