Applications for preapproval for reimbursement for costs of special

Each district shall file its claim computed in accordance with rules
prescribed by the State Board of Education
for
approval on forms prescribed by the State Superintendent of Education.
Data used as a basis of reimbursement claims shall be for the school

and submitted during each fiscal year as follows: the first 3 vouchers
shall be prepared by the State Superintendent of Education and transmitted
to the Comptroller on the 30th day of September, December and March,
respectively, and the final voucher, no later than June 20. If, after
preparation and transmittal of the September 30 vouchers, any claim has

vouchers shall be adjusted in amount to compensate for any overpayment
or underpayment previously made. If the money appropriated by the General
Assembly for such purpose for any year is insufficient, it shall be
apportioned on the basis of the claims approved.
Claims received at the State Board of Education after August 15 shall
not be honored.
