2011 Ohio Revised Code
Title [33] XXXIII EDUCATION - LIBRARIES
Chapter 3317: FOUNDATION PROGRAM
3317.013 Special education program costs.

Except for a preschool child with a disability for whom a scholarship has been awarded under section 3310.41 of the Revised Code, this section does not apply to preschool children with disabilities.

Analysis of special education cost data has resulted in a finding that the average special education additional cost per pupil, including the costs of related services, can be expressed as a multiple of the formula amount. The multiples for the following categories of special education programs, as these programs are defined for purposes of Chapter 3323. of the Revised Code, and adjusted as provided in this section, are as follows:

(A) A multiple of 0.2906 for students whose primary or only identified disability is a speech and language disability, as this term is defined pursuant to Chapter 3323. of the Revised Code;

(B) A multiple of 0.7374 for students identified as specific learning disabled or developmentally disabled, as these terms are defined pursuant to Chapter 3323. of the Revised Code, or as having an other health impairment-minor;

(C) A multiple of 1.7716 for students identified as hearing disabled or severe behavior disabled, as these terms are defined pursuant to Chapter 3323. of the Revised Code;

(D) A multiple of 2.3643 for students identified as vision impaired, as this term is defined pursuant to Chapter 3323. of the Revised Code, or as having an other health impairment-major;

(E) A multiple of 3.2022 for students identified as orthopedically disabled or as having multiple disabilities, as these terms are defined pursuant to Chapter 3323. of the Revised Code;

(F) A multiple of 4.7205 for students identified as autistic, having traumatic brain injuries, or as both visually and hearing impaired, as these terms are defined pursuant to Chapter 3323. of the Revised Code.

In fiscal years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013, the multiples specified in divisions (A) to (F) of this section shall be adjusted by multiplying them by 0.90.
