Tuition rates for Special Class programs such as Full-Day (9000) or Half-Day (9010) will be determined by a Regional Weighted Average (RWA). Tuition rates for Non-Special Class programs (9015) such as Related Services Only or Specialized Instruction will be determined by multiplying the total number of half-hour sessions per student by a regional Non-Special Class half hour rate to determine the maximum allowable aidable costs, exclusive of transportation, for that student. This rate will be used to reimburse the number of half hour sessions of related services and/or instructional units provided to individual students. If you have any questions regarding the tuition rates, you may contact the Rate Setting Unit (RSU) at (518) 474-3227 or at rateweb@mail.nysed.gov.
