a. Proposed Tuition for Pre-School Program
(first reading)
The attached proposed tuition fee for the District’s pre-school program is presented to the Board of Directors at this time for first reading, with approval to be recommended at a future Board meeting (ATTACHMENT). The recommended fee is $116 per month per student for non-special education pre-school students for the 2009-2010 school year. A requirement of the reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is that the District provides a continuum of services for students, including those of a pre-school age of three- to five-years-old. A requirement of the state and federal government is that this continuum of services includes an inclusive pre-school classroom environment for those students who have been identified as needing such an environment. An inclusive pre-school model would include non-special education students in the classroom. The Administration proposed that the cost of providing a pre-school program for the non-special education students be covered with I-728 funds and student tuition.
