SPED DATA INFO: Updates When Reporting Students on an Institutional Voucher When Students are Attending a Neighboring Districts

Special Education Directors,

Vouchered students are normally reported by the district of residence (DOR) that is responsible for his or her education. In certain circumstances for students receiving services through an ASDB regional cooperative, a student may be attending a public school outside of the DOR. In this case, the district that operates the school the student is attending would be considered the district of attendance (DOA). As an example, a child in a high school grade that resides in an elementary-only district would attend a school outside his or her district's boundaries, such as a neighboring unified or high school district. In these cases, it is expected that the DOA (high school or unified district) would submit the data transactions. This memo provides more guidance on this topic.
