			 nor shall it exceed $210 per pupil completing the course, except as defined in
			 737-015-0035  or 737-015-0105. In no case shall the public provider receive more
			 than its eligible expenses less tuition received.
(3) Approved private providers amount of

			 provider's reimbursement will be determined by multiplying the prorated amount
			 times the number of eligible students claimed by the approved
			 provider.
(5) Accurate and complete
			 records of the revenue and cost of conducting an approved course must be kept
			 by the approved provider in accordance with generally accepted accounting

			 completed the approved course prior to issuance of their Oregon provisional
			 driver license, have not reached the age of 18, and have not been previously
			 claimed for reimbursement.
