Nonpublic Reimbursement

Open Enrollment Transportation Assistance

The transportation reimbursement for the 2012-2013 school year for open-enrolled families that qualify according to income guidelines is $470.

The amount of open enrollment tuition for the 2012-2013 school year for a regular education student is $5,883.00, which is the State cost-per-pupil from the previous fiscal year.  For a student served pursuant to an IEP, open enrollment tuition is calculated on actual costs of special education rather than the prior year's State cost-per-pupil amount.  Open enrollment utition is billed and paid on a quarterly basis.  Under special circumstances that terminate or suspend open enrollment status, it is necessary to prorate tuition in a quarter on a per diem basis.

For more information about this including the income guidelines, see pages 18-20 of the 2012-13 Open Enrollment Handbook at http://educateiowa.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=649&Itemid=1336.
