§ 22-80-113 — Educational training - expenditures

(1) The superintendent of
the Colorado school for the deaf and the blind is authorized to expend any moneys
necessary, out of the appropriation for the support of the Colorado school for the
deaf and the blind, to provide for the educational training of eligible deaf-blind
students or students who have a multiple physical disability of hearing, sight, and
speech who are residents of the state of Colorado in institutions located outside of
the state of Colorado which are equipped to provide for the educational training of
such students or by the employment of a skilled person, as a home teacher, trained
in the work of teaching deaf-blind students or students who have a multiple
physical disability of hearing, sight, and speech; except that the compensation of
any such skilled person as a home teacher shall not be greater, in any one instance,
than the expense of the education of any such deaf-blind pupil or pupil who has a
multiple physical disability of hearing, sight, and speech if resident in any named
institution located outside of the state of Colorado.

(2) In each instance, the institution selected or the skilled person employed
for the educational training of such deaf-blind student or student who has a
multiple physical disability of hearing, sight, and speech shall be approved by the
board of trustees.

(3) Such deaf-blind students or students who have a multiple physical
disability of hearing, sight, and speech who are unable to receive instruction in a
special class in a public school may be provided an education in a special class at
the Colorado school for the deaf and the blind if there are a sufficient number of
such students to warrant the establishment of a class.

(4) No later than October 5 each year, the Colorado school for the deaf and
the blind shall notify the department of education of the pupils' placement at the
Colorado school for the deaf and the blind. The Colorado school for the deaf and
the blind is entitled to receive, from the department of education, an amount equal
to the state average per pupil revenues, as defined in section 22-54-103 (12), for the
current fiscal year for those students in attendance. The Colorado school for the
