§ 4012. State-placed students|(a) A district that provides for the education of its students by paying tuition to an approved independent school or a public school outside the district shall receive from the Secretary an amount equal to the calculated net cost per pupil in the receiving school, as defined in section 825 of this title, prorated for the percentage of annual tuition billed for a State-placed student.

Community organizations include school districts; other public agencies, including Head Start programs; and private agencies, including child care programs and parent-child centers.(c) The Secretary also shall investigate to determine those areas that are not served by early education programs and whose children are in greatest need of such services. In those areas, the Secretary shall provide assistance in preparing proposals for grants. In conducting the investigation, the Secretary shall collect and analyze demographic factors that are likely to predict unusual community needs for early education services. The Secretary shall distribute the results of the analysis to all interested persons.(d) The Secretary shall evaluate proposals based on the following criteria:  (1) The program will serve additional children with special needs, such as those who are economically disadvantaged, those who have limited English language skills, those who have a disability, or those who have experienced or are at risk of abuse or neglect. (2) The program will rely on early screening of children's development to determine need. (3) The program will provide experiential learning activities that are developmentally appropriate for three- and four-year old children. Such activities may be provided in home or group settings or a combination of the two. (4) The program will include active parental involvement in program design and in making decisions about services. (5) The program has been cooperatively developed by community and school organizations that serve young children in a town or group of towns. (6) There is a demonstrated need for the program. (7) The program considers the transportation needs of children and parents. (8) The program enables children with disabilities to be served in settings with peers who do not have a disability.

Transportation grants paid under this section shall be paid from the Education Fund and shall be added to adjusted education payment receipts paid under section 4011 of this title.(b) In this section, "allowable transportation expenditures" means the costs of transporting students to and from school for regular classroom services and shall not include expenditures for transporting students participating in curricular activities that take place off the school grounds or for transporting students participating in cocurricular activities. The State Board shall further define allowable transportation expenditures by rule.(c) A district or supervisory union may apply and the Secretary may pay for extraordinary transportation expenditures incurred due to geographic or other conditions such as the need to transport students out of the school district to attend another school because the district does not maintain a public school. The State Board shall define extraordinary transportation expenditures by rule. The total amount of base year extraordinary transportation grant expenditures shall be $250,000.00 for fiscal year 1997, increased each year thereafter by the annual price index for state and local government purchases of goods and services. Extraordinary transportation expenditures shall not be paid out of the funds appropriated under subsection (b) of this section for other transportation expenditures.
