  5. DISTRICT WIDE ACTUAL ENROLLMENTS

  6. Special Education Out-Placements at Elementary Level Total Number of PreK-12 students currently Out-Placed is 74.

  7. Current Special Education Programs within the District • 5 Students in the Transitional Support Program (TSP) at KMS. • 10 Students in the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) program at KMS. • 2 Students in Caterpillar program at KCS

  8. “Local Placement” – a definition A “Local Placement” is a decision which arises from a Special Education meeting in a school district with all stakeholders that have input into a child’s programming, including obviously, the parents. The next slide will examine the cost impact of that “Out Placement”

  9. Excess Cost Aid “Local Placement” Aid that comes from the state to help defray “some” of the out of district special education costs. Killingly has the responsibility for approximately the first $62,402 per pupil. (4 times the per pupil expenditure) The State will reimburse Killingly for any amount over the $62,402 at the current rate of 77%. Example: If a placement costs $72,402 then the state will reimburse us 77% of $10,000 or $7,700. Killingly would be responsible for a total of $64, 702 in this example.

  10. “Agency Placement”—A Definition An Out Placement of any student that is under the guardianship of a local service agency, (i.e., Dept. of Children and Family Services (DCF). This can be driven similar to a “Local Placement” for a student that cannot be serviced by our school system, or……. The Out placement can be driven by the Agency placing the student in an out-of-town residence (foster home, group home). Responsibility for cost falls on the District which has “nexus” (where the parent/guardian currently reside) See cost explanation on next slide

  11. Excess Cost Aid “Agency Placement” Killingly is responsible for the first $13,867 (FY12) per student. State reimburses Killingly at the rate of 77% above that figure. These are Killingly students that may be relocated by state agencies into other districts or agency placements.
