Current through April 27, 2019

Section 44-3 - General Provisions

(a) Special Education reimbursement shall specifically and directly relate to a service or program provided to a student with a disability beyond what is provided as general education to all students. Services or items that are resourced through the Education Resource Block Grant Model, as defined by W. S. 21-13-101(a)(xiv), and made available to special education students and staff are not reimbursable through special education reimbursement under W. S. 21-13-321. Some of the most common non-reimbursable services and items resources through the model are Professional Development-General, Supplies-General, Instructional Materials-General, Technology-General, Equipment-General, and summer school and extended day programs not specific to a child's IEP or ESY services.

(b) Reimbursement for expenditures incurred to provide special education programs and services to children with disabilities shall not duplicate any other reimbursement or revenue source used to offset district special education costs. Examples include, but are not limited to:

• (i) Costs previously or simultaneously covered elsewhere in the Wyoming School Finance System.

• (ii) Special school district tax levied under W.S. 21-20-109 for Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) providing services to children with disabilities, but not passed through to the BOCES for which the tax was levied, and considered by the Department to be revenue under W.S. 21-13-310(a).

• (iii) Federal Funds awarded to the district under the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) ( 20 U.S.C. § 1400 et seq.).
