In 2001-02, the
estimated tuition calculation was added to the main menu of the budget
software as a tool to assist regular districts in estimating tuition
rates for both regular and special education students. As required under
N.J.A.C. 6A:23-3.1, all regular districts not using the A4-1/A4-2 method
are required to use the calculated estimated tuition rate and reports
generated from the budget software in place of the worksheets provided
by the Office of Fiscal Standards and Efficiency. The county superintendent
is required to review any unique circumstances or variations in methodology
and mediate all disputes that arise from the determination of estimated
tuition rates, including challenges to the estimated ADE counts generated
by the growth rate formula.
The files attached
below are being provided as a reference to regular districts. There
are unique situations for regular districts, such as the start up of
a new program, that may require the use of the attached worksheets to
calculate projected tuition rates in lieu of the budget software.
