Expands the definition of tuition for children with handicapping conditions

This bill amends the education law to expand the definition of "tuition" for children with handicapping conditions. It now includes costs like classroom supplies, facility operations, maintenance, and direct reimbursement for actual public expenses (e.g., building upkeep), beyond just instructional services. The definition explicitly excludes federal funds, state refunds for special programs, and other specific revenue sources when calculating tuition. This change affects how educational costs are measured for these students, ensuring broader coverage of expenses in funding calculations.
