§ 826. Notice of tuition rates; special education charges
(a) A school board, or the board of trustees of an independent school meeting education
quality standards, that proposes to increase tuition charges shall notify the school
board of the school district from which its nonresident students come, and the Secretary,
of the proposed increase on or before January 15 in any year; such increases shall
not become effective without the notice and not until the following school year.
(b) A school board or the board of trustees of an independent school meeting education
quality standards may establish a separate tuition for one or more special education
programs. No such tuition shall be established unless the State Board has by rule
defined the program as of a type that may be funded by a separate tuition. Any such
tuition shall be announced in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of
this section. The amount of tuition shall reflect the net cost per pupil in the program.
The announcement of tuition shall describe the special education services included
or excluded from coverage. Tuition for part-time students shall be reduced proportionally.
(c) Excess special education costs incurred by a supervisory union in providing special
education services to a student beyond those covered by tuition may be charged to
the student’s supervisory union for the district of residence. However, only actual
costs or actual proportionate costs attributable to the student may be charged.
(d) The State Board shall adopt rules relating to the types of special education programs
that may establish tuition charges and relating to methods and times of calculating
excess charges. (Added 1969, No. 298 (Adj. Sess.), § 57; amended 1987, No. 235 (Adj. Sess.), § 9; 1991, No. 24, § 12; 1995, No. 34, § 3; 2001, No. 8, § 10; 2009, No. 44, § 13, eff.
