For purposes of the cost category testing requirement, what happens when a school overspends in the area of instruction beyond the 50% minimum?
A. If the instructional percentage is greater than the minimum 50%, this would decrease the percentages in the other cost categories. This scenario is not viewed as overspending in the instruction area but as providing more funds to the direct instruction of disabled pupils which is very important.
