Key Takeaways

  • •If a kid goes to a special school run by the state (not just during the day), their home school district has to pay extra money to that school.
  • •The home district pays 10% of the extra cost it takes to teach that kid at the special school.
  • •This only applies to kids who live at the special school, not kids who just go there for the day.
