Section 4357. School district and social services district financial responsibility

1.  Financial  responsibilities.  School  districts  and  social  services districts shall be responsible for the costs of tuition
  and maintenance, respectively, for children attending the New York state
  school for the deaf during the September first  through  June  thirtieth
  session.  Such costs shall be established pursuant to section forty-four
  hundred five of this chapter.  a. The school district of which any  such
  child  is  resident  at  the time of admission or readmission to the New
  York State school for  the  deaf  pursuant  to  this  article  shall  be
  required  to  reimburse  the  state  in  an  amount equal to the tuition
  payments made to the state school by the state on behalf of  the  school
  district.  The  comptroller shall deduct the appropriate tuition amounts
  from any state funds which become due to a school district for each year
  in which such child is in attendance at such school, and  shall  deposit
  such funds to the special revenue accounts established for such purpose.
  Any  tuition  amounts  deducted  pursuant  to  this subdivision shall be
  included in the  approved  operating  expense  of  the  school  district
  pursuant to paragraph t of subdivision one of section thirty-six hundred
  two of this chapter.
    b. The social services district in which any such child is resident at
  the  time  of  admission or readmission to the New York state school for
  the deaf pursuant to this article shall be  required  to  reimburse  the
  state  in  an amount equal to the maintenance payments made to the state
  school by the state on behalf  of  the  social  services  district.  The
  comptroller  may  deduct  the  appropriate  maintenance amounts from any
  state funds which become due to a social services district for each year
  in  which  such  child  is  in  attendance  at  such  school  only  upon
  notification  by  the  commissioner  of  social services after receiving
  notice by the  commissioner  of  education  that  such  social  services
  district  has  failed  to remit the required maintenance payments within
  ninety days of the date on which such social services district is billed
  by the state for services rendered, and shall deposit such amount to the
  special revenue accounts established for such purpose.
    2. Payment for preschool children with  handicapping  conditions.  The
  state  share of the costs of tuition, maintenance and transportation for
  preschool children attending the New York  state  school  for  the  deaf
  during the July and August summer session and the September through June
  session  shall  be paid from the state moneys appropriated in support of
  the provisions of section forty-four hundred ten of  this  chapter.  The
  remaining  share  shall  be  a  charge on the county, or the city of New
  York, of which any such child is resident at the time  of  admission  or
  readmission  to  such  school.  The state share shall be as set forth in
  paragraph b of subdivision eleven of section forty-four hundred  ten  of
  this  chapter.  For  the  purposes of this subdivision "preschool child"
  shall mean a child not eligible, by reason of age, for  the  deaf-infant
  program pursuant to section forty-two hundred four-a of this chapter and
  not eligible, by reason of age, to attend the public schools pursuant to
  section  thirty-two  hundred  two of this chapter, provided that a child
  shall be deemed a preschool child through the month  of  August  of  the
  school  year  in  which  the  child first becomes eligible to attend the
  public schools. Preschool education charges on a county, or the city  of
  New  York,  pursuant  to  this  subdivision  shall  be  deducted  by the
  comptroller within thirty days of the  issuance  of  a  warrant  by  the
  commissioner  from  any state funds which become due to a county, or the
  city of New York,  and  be  credited  to  the  special  revenue  account
  established   for   such   purpose.   Such   tuition,   maintenance  and
  transportation costs shall be determined pursuant to section  forty-four
  hundred five of this chapter.

    3.  Deaf  infants.  The  full  costs  of  a  deaf-infant  program,  as
  determined by the commissioner of education and approved by the director
  of the budget, for children below the age of three  served  by  the  New
  York  state  school  for  the deaf pursuant to section forty-two hundred
  four-a  of this chapter shall be paid from the state moneys appropriated
  in support of such section forty-two hundred four-a.
