Special Education Services The Network shall pay to the District an amount equal to the per pupil cost incurred by the District in providing federally required educational services, multiplied by the number of students enrolled in all Network Schools. The current per pupil amount is calculated as follows: Total General Fund Expenditures for providing special education supports, including center program funding, OT/PT, Speech Language, central special education supports, and other assessments, plus additional General Fund expenditures related to hiring of special education providers, federally required translations and/or interpretations, and transportation. These gross expenditures are reduced by any applicable state revenue received, such as State ECEA, pre-K Special Ed PPR, and State Transportation. The net expenditures are divided by the District’s funded pupil count to obtain the per pupil amount to apply to the Network. Charges to the Network may be withheld from the funding provided to the Network pursuant to Section 17.A.g below. The calculation shall be agreed upon by both parties and any changes to the calculation will be presented to the Network prior to the start of the fiscal year for implementation.

Employees working the regular day schedule who are required to work overtime or who are called back to work for special projects shall not be eligible for the shift differential.
