<p class="MsoNormal">A school district may apply to the Department for reimbursement from the high cost disability fund when combined district and ESD general fund expenditures for special education and related services for any student eligible exceed $30,000
in a fiscal year. To be eligible for reimbursement the school district must determine the student is eligible for special education and provides services to the student on the basis of the current individualized education program. The department reimburses
for the costs exceeding $30,000 for special education and related services incurred by the school district and those by the ESD through the resolution process.
