Find your code
Look in the IEP's least-restrictive-environment or placement section for the instructional setting code. Speech services alone are coded 00, and a student taught mostly in regular classes with supports is usually coded 40.
Why the districts differ
The state formula pays small and rural districts more per student. That is why Tornillo, Anthony, Fort Hancock and Sierra Blanca come in thousands of dollars above El Paso, Socorro or Ysleta ISD for the same IEP setting.
Only at a participating school
The add-on is paid only when the child attends a participating private school or pre-K/K provider. Homeschool students with an IEP stay at $2,000.
