282.33 FUNDING FOR CHILDREN RESIDING IN STATE MENTAL
HEALTH INSTITUTES OR INSTITUTIONS.
1. A child who resides in an institution for children under the
jurisdiction of the director of human services referred to in section
218.1, subsection 3, 5, 7, or 8, and who is not enrolled in the
educational program of the district of residence of the child, shall
receive appropriate educational services. The institution in which
the child resides shall submit a proposed program and budget based on
the average daily attendance of the children residing in the
institution to the department of education and the department of
human services by January 1 for the next succeeding school year. The
department of education shall review and approve or modify the
proposed program and budget and shall notify the department of
administrative services of its action by February 1. The department
of administrative services shall pay the approved budget amount to
the department of human services in monthly installments beginning
September 15 and ending June 15 of the next succeeding school year.
The installments shall be as nearly equal as possible as determined
by the department of administrative services, taking into
consideration the relative budget and cash position of the state's
resources. The department of administrative services shall pay the
approved budget amount for the department of human services from the
moneys appropriated under section 257.16 and the department of human
services shall distribute the payment to the institution. The
institution shall submit an accounting for the actual cost of the
program to the department of education by August 1 of the following
school year. The department shall review and approve or modify all
expenditures incurred in compliance with the guidelines adopted
pursuant to section 256.7, subsection 10, and shall notify the
department of administrative services of the approved accounting
amount. The approved accounting amount shall be compared with any
amounts paid by the department of administrative services to the
department of human services and any differences added to or
subtracted from the October payment made under this subsection for
the next school year. Any amount paid by the department of
administrative services shall be deducted monthly from the state
foundation aid paid under section 257.16 to all school districts in
the state during the subsequent fiscal year. The portion of the
total amount of the approved budget that shall be deducted from the
state aid of a school district shall be the same as the ratio that
the budget enrollment for the budget year of the school district
bears to the total budget enrollment in the state for that budget
year in which the deduction is made.
2. Programs may be provided during the summer and funded under
this section if the institution determines a valid educational reason
to do so and the department of education approves the program in the
manner provided in subsection 1. Section History: Recent Form
