Increases to $2,500 from $2,000 the maximum reimbursement over one per capita tuition charge for providing extraordinary special education services. Provides for reimbursement for teachers, school psychologists, professional workers, and a qualified director who furnish special education services in a recognized school to children with disabilities based on 22% of the State's average teacher salary (rather than on a flat-rate of $8,000). Eliminates provisions authorizing proportionate payment of claims for reimbursement for providing special education services. Requires all special education reimbursement to be made at 100%, and provides for payment in a succeeding fiscal year (before payment of current claims for that succeeding fiscal year) if the amount appropriated in a fiscal year is insufficient to provide for full reimbursement of all filed claims. Effective July 1, 1999. FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Education) With 22,089 FTE personnel claimed in FY99 at the $8,000 level, now using 22% of average teacher salary of the prior year (median teacher salary for all teachers for 1997-98 is $41,494) it is estimated that $201,643,412 would be needed rather than the $176,712,000 of FY99. Acknowledging the $50 million in personnel reimbursement needed for noncertificated employee reimbursement, it is estimated an additional $23 million over the FY99 prorated level is needed. The FY2000 projection for full funding for all 6 special education line items (extra- ordinary, orphanage, personnel reimbursement, private tuition, summer school and transportation) as of December, 1998 is estimated at $863,100,000.
