Who pays for the cost of educating the students at CSD?
The majority of the costs of a student’s education are covered by the State of California. There is no charge to the school district while a student is here for an Assessment for Suitability of Placement. Once a student is accepted, the district is assessed a portion of the costs per student. The average cost to districts is around $6,000 per year, per student. If a child is a day student, the school district covers the cost of daily transportation. No additional costs are assessed for day students.
