New York Laws
Article 85 - Instruction of the Deaf and of the Blind
4204-A - Deaf-Infant Program.

(2) Each deaf pupil so received into any of the approved institutions
or facilities aforesaid shall be provided with tuition; and the
directors of the institution or facility shall receive an appropriation
for each pupil so provided for, in quarterly payments, to be paid by the
commissioner of taxation and finance on the warrant of the comptroller,
to the treasurer of said institution or facility, on his presenting a
bill showing the actual time and number of pupils in attendance, which
bill shall be signed by the chief executive officer of the institution,
and verified under his oath.
(3) Children placed in any such approved institution or facility,
pursuant to this section, shall be maintained therein on a day basis
only at the expense of the state for the period of time the school is in
session. Further, the commissioner shall approve such expense only if
the child attends the facility nearest his legal residence; provided,
however, that the foregoing requirement as to the facility the child
shall attend may be waived in the discretion of the commissioner.
(4) The commissioner shall promulgate such rules and regulations
pertaining to the educational programs for deaf children placed in
facilities under the provisions of this section as he shall deem to be
in the best interests of such children.
(5) The department shall maintain a register of such approved
institutions or facilities which, after inspection, it deems qualified
to meet the needs of such child for instruction of such child in such
institution or facility. Such inspection shall also determine the
eligibility of such educational facility to receive the funds
hereinbefore specified.
