§ 1046 County Dormitories For Disabled

This law lets a county's school board build and run dorms for disabled people who live in the county, if the board thinks they need them, and set the price for staying there.

Key Takeaways

  • •The county school board can decide to build and keep dorms for disabled residents.
  • •They can only do this if they think a dorm is needed.
  • •The board sets the fees that the residents or their families must pay.

Example

A teenager with a physical disability lives in a rural county and needs to attend a special program at the county school. The school board decides a dorm is needed and builds one for the student to live in during the program.

Because the board judged a dorm was necessary, they can provide the room and decide how much the student’s family will pay for it.
