Prior to an
emergency rule to Chapter 101: Maine Unified Special Education Regulation
Birth to Age Twenty-two, implemented by the Department of Education on July
7, 2023, school administrative units (SAUs) were required to pay special
purpose private schools (SPPS) a daily rate for program participation on days
when students actually attended their programming. The emergency rule changed this provision
to require SAUs to pay the daily rate to SPPS regardless of whether the
student is actually in attendance on a given school day. The department estimates the additional
costs to SAUs to be approximately $90 - $135 per student per program
day. The total cost to SAU's can not
be determined at this time. According
to the Department of Education, SAUs that report additional funds spent in
the current school year, specifically on High Cost Out-of-District placements
in SPPS, above what was allocated to the SAU in the essential programs and
services funding model receive a subsidy adjustment in the spring of the same
school year to cover the additional costs. |
