2006 Ohio Revised Code - 3317.20. Payment to county MR/DD board for special education and related services.

§ 3317.20. Payment to county MR/DD board for special education and related services.
 

This section does not apply to handicapped preschool children. 

(A) As used in this section: 

(1) "Applicable weight" means the multiple specified in section 3317.013 [3317.01.3] of the Revised Code for a handicap described in that section. 

(2) "Child's school district" means the school district in which a child is entitled to attend school pursuant to section 3313.64 or 3313.65 of the Revised Code. 

(3) "State share percentage" means the state share percentage of the child's school district as defined in section 3317.022 [3317.02.2] of the Revised Code. 

(B) Except as provided in division (C) of this section, the department shall annually pay each county MR/DD board for each handicapped child, other than a handicapped preschool child, for whom the county MR/DD board provides special education and related services the greater of the amount calculated under division (B)(1) or (2) of this section: 

(1) (The formula amount for fiscal year 2005 X the cost-of-doing-business factor for the child's school district for fiscal year 2005) + (state share percentage for fiscal year 2005 X formula amount for fiscal year 2005 X the applicable weight); 

(2) (The current formula amount times the current cost-of-doing-business factor for the child's school district) + (state share percentage X current formula amount X the applicable weight). 

(C) If any school district places with a county MR/DD board more handicapped children than it had placed with a county MR/DD board in fiscal year 1998, the department shall not make a payment under division (B) of this section for the number of children exceeding the number placed in fiscal year 1998. The department instead shall deduct from the district's payments under this chapter, and pay to the county MR/DD board, an amount calculated in accordance with the formula prescribed in division (B) of this section for each child over the number of children placed in fiscal year 1998. 

(D) The department shall calculate for each county MR/DD board receiving payments under divisions (B) and (C) of this section the following amounts: 

(1) The amount received by the county MR/DD board for approved special education and related services units, other than preschool handicapped units, in fiscal year 1998, divided by the total number of children served in the units that year; 

(2) The product of the quotient calculated under division (D)(1) of this section times the number of children for whom payments are made under divisions (B) and (C) of this section. 

If the amount calculated under division (D)(2) of this section is greater than the total amount calculated under divisions (B) and (C) of this section, the department shall pay the county MR/DD board one hundred per cent of the difference in addition to the payments under divisions (B) and (C) of this section.
