For each child counted in the school division's average daily membership (ADM), an amount is paid to the school division for this purpose. This per-child amount is referred to as the special education add-on.

This amount is determined by calculating the theoretical number of teachers and aides necessary to meet the special education program standards in each school (based on information supplied on the December 1 Count of Children Receiving Special Education and Related Services), and then determining the state's share of the theoretical cost of those teachers and aides.

The state's share of this cost is determined according to the locality's composite index of local ability to pay. Intensive Support Services state funds are available to school divisions that claim reimbursement for certain costs, for certain services provided to students that meet the criteria as Students with Intensive Support Needs.

These funds are provided in lieu of the state funds referred above, when a school division has an approved Students with Intensive Support Services Needs Application (SISNA) on file with the VDOE's Office of Special Education and Student Services' unit of Special Education Finance and Budget.

Intensive Support Services funds reimbursed represent the State Share of the actual costs incurred, after the school division's Local Composite Index is applied to the reported costs.

Children placed in private special education schools are funded through an interagency pool which exists under the Children's Services Act to pay the state's share of the cost of services for children who are in (or at risk of) out-of-home placement by any local public agency (i.e., courts, social services, or school division).

Local school boards determine how much local funding to request from the governing body (city council, town council, or board of supervisors) by costing out all its programs and then subtracting out the anticipated revenues from state, federal, and other sources.

School divisions may also seek federal Medicaid reimbursement for certain students and services by applying to the Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services to be an approved provider. * Medicaid and Schools - School divisions can submit reimbursement claims to Medicaid for some services provided to students.
