SECTION 600.210 PER DIEM RATE CALCULATION

 

Section 600.210  Per Diem Rate Calculation

 

Before allowing a nonresident student to attend during a given fiscal year, the School must request a per diem rate calculation from the State Superintendent of Education.  Upon receiving this request, the State Superintendent of Education shall determine the per diem rate based on the cost of educating all students attending the School. The School shall request the State Superintendent to calculate a per diem rate no later than July 31st of the fiscal year for which the rate is being calculated, and the State Superintendent shall provide the School written notification of the per diem rate determination no later than August 31st of the fiscal year for which the rate is being calculated.

 

a)         Per diem costs shall be calculated by dividing the net allowable costs less any revenue offsets, as these terms are defined in Sections 600.220 and 600.240, by the total student attendance days. 

 

1)         The costs used in the calculation shall be those enumerated in the School's financial audit required under Section 600.250(b) and shall consider any additional financial information deemed necessary to conduct the calculation, as requested by the State Superintendent of Education. 

 

2)         The per diem rate charged of nonresident students may be up to 120 percent of the approved calculated per diem costs.

 

b)         The State Superintendent may adjust the per diem rate one time during the fiscal year in which it is in effect. 

 

1)         If the School determines an adjustment to its rate may be necessary due to one of the bases of appeals provided for in 89 Ill. Adm. Code 900.342, the School may request the State Superintendent to adjust the per diem rate. However, in no circumstance shall an adjusted per diem rate be calculated and provided later than August 31st of the fiscal year for which the rate is being calculated. 

 

2)         The State Superintendent of Education shall provide the School written notification of any adjustment made to the per diem rate.

 

c)         The per diem rate shall be effective at the beginning of the affected fiscal year of the School.  When the per diem rate is adjusted during the affected fiscal year after a review authorized in subsection (b), the effective date of the adjusted per diem rate shall be determined by the State Superintendent of Education.
