§ 4313. School district and social services district financial

responsibility. 1. Financial responsibilities. School districts and

social services districts shall be responsible for the cost of tuition

and maintenance, respectively, for children in attendance at the New

York state school for the blind 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 blind 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 blind 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 to the

state within ninety days of the date on which such social services

district was billed by the state for services rendered, and shall

deposit such funds to the special revenue accounts established for such

purpose.
