Board ratifies tuition and related-services rates, including special-education fees for 2026–27
Summary
Ridgefield approved tuition schedules and related-services rates for 2026–2027, listing program-specific annual tuition numbers (Kindergarten–Grades 9–12 and specialized programs such as Autism and Multiple Disabilities) and per-session OT/PT rates. The board recorded the certified NJDOE rates in the consent agenda.
The Ridgefield Board approved tuition and related services rates for 2026–2027 as submitted in the agenda packet. The resolutions adopt the New Jersey Department of Education–certified tuition figures for regular-grade programs and special-education placements, along with related-service session rates.
Among the figures recorded were regular-school-year tuition amounts (for example: Grades 9–12 annual tuition recorded at $18,746.00 for 2026–2027) and special program totals for Intensive needs programs (examples: Autism and Multiple Disabled program annual totals listed in the packet). Related-services rates (OT/PT per session) and 1:1 aide hourly costs were listed in the resolution for district use in interdistrict placements and billing.
The board’s approval authorizes the Business Administrator to execute agreements reflecting those rates. The packet notes that such rates are based on NJDOE certifications for the prior year and are applied for interdistrict tuition placements and contracts with sending districts.
