Fort Zumwalt School District v. Clynes

Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit

Decided July 10, 1997No. 96-2503, 96-2504Published

1Concurring in part, dissenting in partFloyd R. Gibson, Circuit Judge

I agree that our decision in Heidemann v. Rother, 84 F.3d 1021, 1033 (8th Cir.1996), precludes the Clyneses from recovering damages in this action, and I can conceive of no authority that would allow them compensation for interest on loans they took out to pay for Nicholas’s private schooling. Therefore, I concur in Part III of the Court’s opinion. Nonetheless, because I would affirm the district court’s judgment in toto, I respectfully dissent from Part II of the opinion.
