§ 4204. Support  and term of instruction of deaf state pupils. 1. Each   deaf pupil so received into any of the institutions aforesaid  shall  be   provided  with  board,  lodging  and  tuition;  and the directors of the   institution shall receive an appropriation for each  pupil  so  provided   for,  in  quarterly payments, to be paid by the commissioner of taxation   and finance, on the warrant of the comptroller, to the treasurer of said   institution; provided, however, that an estimated one-half of each  such   quarterly  payment  shall  be  due on the first day of each quarter, the   estimate to be based on the affidavit of the chief executive officer  of   the institution stating the number of pupils for whom board, lodging and   tuition  was so provided by the institution during the preceding quarter   and during the  comparable  quarter  of  the  preceding  year,  and  the   remaining part of each such quarterly payment shall be due thereafter on   the  first day of the quarter next ensuing, upon the presentation by the   treasurer of the institution of a  bill  showing  the  actual  time  and   number  of  pupils attending the institution, which bill shall be signed   by the chief executive officer of the institution, and verified  by  his   oath.  The  provisions of this subdivision shall apply to board, lodging   and tuition for the two thousand  ten--two  thousand  eleven  and  prior   school years.2.  For  expenses  incurred  in  the two thousand eleven--two thousand   twelve school year and thereafter, each deaf pupil so received into  any   of  the  institutions  subject  to  this  article shall be provided with   board, lodging and tuition, and such institutions  shall  be  reimbursed   for such expenses in accordance with this subdivision.a.   For   the   two   thousand   eleven--twelve   and   two  thousand   twelve--thirteen school years, costs of tuition as  defined  in  section   forty-two  hundred  eleven  of  this article, shall be a charge upon the   school district of which any such child  is  resident  at  the  time  of   admission  or  readmission  to  any  of the institutions subject to this   article and the directors of the  institution  shall  bill  such  school   district  for  such  tuition  costs on a quarterly basis. The first such   quarterly payment may be based on projected  enrollment,  provided  that   subsequent  payments shall be adjusted to reflect actual enrollment. The   amount of tuition paid by such school district  shall  be  eligible  for   reimbursement  by  the state to the extent provided in section forty-two   hundred four-b of this article.b. For the two thousand thirteen--two thousand  fourteen  school  year   and  thereafter,  the  costs  of tuition as defined in section forty-two   hundred eleven of this article, shall  be  a  charge  upon  the  current   school  district  of residence of any such child subject to this article   and the directors of the institution shall bill such school district for   such tuition costs on  a  quarterly  basis.  The  first  such  quarterly   payment  may  be based on projected enrollment, provided that subsequent   payments shall be adjusted to reflect actual enrollment. The  amount  of   tuition paid by such school district shall be eligible for reimbursement   by  the state to the extent provided in section forty-two hundred four-b   of this article.c. The costs of board and lodging shall be a charge upon the state and   the directors of the institution shall receive an appropriation for each   pupil so provided  for,  in  quarterly  payments,  to  be  paid  by  the   commissioner of taxation and finance, on the warrant of the comptroller,   to  the  treasurer  of  said  institution;  provided,  however,  that an   estimated one-half of each such quarterly payment shall be  due  on  the   first  day of each quarter, the estimate to be based on the affidavit of   the chief executive officer of the institution  stating  the  number  of   pupils  for  whom  board  and lodging was so provided by the institution   during the preceding quarter and during the comparable  quarter  of  the    preceding  year,  and  the remaining part of each such quarterly payment   shall be due thereafter during  the  first  day  of  each  quarter  next   ensuing,  upon the presentation by the treasurer of the institution of a   bill  showing  the  actual  time  and  number  of  pupils  attending the   institution who received board and lodging, which bill shall  be  signed   by  the  chief executive officer of the institution, and verified by his   oath.3. The regular term of instruction of any such  deaf  pupil  shall  be   twelve years, or until the pupil shall have attained the age of eighteen   years  before  the expiration of twelve years from the beginning of such   term. The commissioner may, in his discretion, extend the  term  of  any   pupil  until  his  twenty-first  birthday for the purpose of pursuing or   completing academic or vocational courses of study. Such pupils must  be   recommended  by  the  trustees  of  the institution in which they are in   attendance before such extension of time is granted.4. Children placed in any such institution for the instruction of  the   deaf, pursuant to section forty-two hundred three of this article, shall   be maintained therein for the period of time the school is in session.
