TO THE ADMINISTRATOR ADDRESSED

SUBJECT: Nonpublic Day School Report (SPE-106R00)

Enclosed is the Nonpublic Day School Report for the 1999-2000 school year. Please complete the report to reflect the number of students with disabilities placed at Texas Education Agency approved nonpublic day schools. Please refer to the back of the SPE-106R00 form for instructions regarding accurate completion of this report. A separate report must be completed for each member district in a shared services arrangement that has students with disabilities contracted to approved nonpublic day schools. Do not complete the report if there are no students with disabilities contracted.

The Agency will provide state special education funds to districts for the educational costs incurred for each day contract student based on the formula of one full-time equivalent (FTE), or portion of FTE, multiplied by a district’s adjusted allotment and the instructional weight of 1.7. The amount of funds a district receives for each student will depend upon the length of the student’s contract in the approved nonpublic day school. The funds will be included in the district’s regular Foundation School Program payments. The district may use other state, federal, and local funds as appropriate to pay for costs that exceed the formula amount. Contract students cannot be counted for average daily attendance (ADA) or contact hours and should be coded as enrolled but not in membership (ADA eligibility code Ø) with an instructional setting code of 60 when reporting student attendance information through the Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS). FTEs for state special education funds for nonpublic day school contracts will be determined from information reported on the enclosed report.

The report is due at the Agency on August 15, 2000. If you have any questions, contact your education service center special education contact or the Division of Special Education at (512) 463-9362 or by fax at (512) 463-9560.

Sincerely,

Carol V. Francois
