DESCRIPTION/INFORMATION
Regional Services – Students Served Outside District of Residence
“Regional Service Rates” (aka Fee-for-Service) will be established for each placement or type of service provided outside of a student’s district of residence. Based upon the established Regional Service Rates, each district of residence will be charted for the regional services that are provided. For students received duplicate services, the district will be charged for each service separately. The SELPA will calculate these charges for each district based upon duplicated Pupil Counts. Regional Service Rates will be presented to the Board at the time of budget adoption for approval for use in the upcoming fiscal year. Rates may also be added or adjusted during the year with Board approval. The need for an Excess Cost Bill Back Procedure to bill districts for excess costs in the County Operated programs, should be eliminated with the establishment of the “Regional Service” fee procedure. In the event, however, that an unexpected deficit is incurred by County Operated programs, an Excess Cost Report will be presented to the SELPA Board for approval. A Charter School is considered “Dependent” if they have not applied and been accepted into a SELPA as a Local Education Agency (LEA) member. As such, the charter is considered a school of the sponsoring district. Revenue generated/earned by a “dependent” charter is passed to the sponsoring district for distribution per their district policies or MOU between the district and the charter school. A calculation to determine recommended funding levels for each is prepared as delineated in Section J. NOTE: Not all “Directly Funded” charter schools are considered “Independent LEAs” for special education purposes. A Charter School is considered “Independent” if their charter identifies them as a Local Education Agency (LEA); and they have applied for SELPA membership to the SELPA Board of Directors and been accepted as an Independent LEA Charter School. Revenue is paid directly to an Independent Charter School and not passed through to the sponsoring district.
