ID H0639

School districts must submit reports to the state department of education within 45 days of completing driver training courses, showing enrollment numbers, completion numbers, and total program operating costs.

Failure to submit required reports causes the state department to disallow reimbursement, even for previously approved driver training programs.

The state department of education shall compute the average of pupils enrolling and completing courses to determine per-pupil costs for reimbursement calculations.

Reimbursement to districts from the driver training fund equals the lesser of: actual program operating costs or the average number of enrolling and completing pupils multiplied by $150 per pupil.

The state superintendent of public instruction must certify eligible districts and reimbursement amounts to the state controller on or before February 15, June 30, and September 15 of each year, and prepare an annual report by September 1 listing all districts and amounts paid.
