Chapter 1066 of the Laws of 1974, which added 搂4204-a to the Education Law, provides for State reimbursement of tuition costs for the education of deaf infants below the age of three, and their parents attending programs approved by the Commissioner at various public and private facilities, including schools for the deaf listed in 搂4201 of the Education Law.
Chapter 58 of the laws of 2011 amended sections 4204, 4204-a, 4204-b and 4207 of the Education Law to require school districts, beginning with the 2011-12 school year, to pay tuition for the ten-month school year based on a per pupil charge to the 搂4201 schools in the first instance.听 The State reimburses a school district for the positive difference between its tuition payments and basic contribution. The State pays the 搂4201 schools directly for summer school special education programs, their ten-month school year deaf infant program, residential maintenance costs, and also any applicable Dormitory Authority debt service costs.
