Iowa Admin. Code r. 289-6.9 - Special education administrative costs

(1) When a school district presents evidence of unusual circumstances that would justify charging administrative costs to the special education program, the committee may authorize such expenditures.

(2) The committee shall use the following criteria in evaluating the evidence presented by the district:

a. The school district has a separate facility for special education which has a sufficient student population to warrant a certified special education administrator In this case, the district, after it has received approval from the SBRC, may bill the prorated cost to other resident districts as well as include the prorated portion related to its own resident students in the special education program expenditures.

b. The school district has one or more private facilities located within the district with a sufficient special education student population that is served by the district. In this case, the district, after it has received approval from the SBRC, may include the lower of the prorated actual administrative costs or the prorated approved administrative costs in the billing to other resident districts in proportion to each district's resident students in the program, but shall not include the prorated portion related to its own resident students in the special education program expenditures.
