In each instance, the institution selected or the skilled person employed for the educational training of such deaf-blind student or student who has a multiple physical disability of hearing, sight, and speech shall be approved by the board of trustees.(3)
Such deaf-blind students or students who have a multiple physical disability of hearing, sight, and speech who are unable to receive instruction in a special class in a public school may be provided an education in a special class at the Colorado school for the deaf and the blind if there are a sufficient number of such students to warrant the establishment of a class.(4)
No later than October 5 each year, the Colorado school for the deaf and the blind shall notify the department of education of the pupils’ placement at the Colorado school for the deaf and the blind. The Colorado school for the deaf and the blind is entitled to receive, from the department of education, an amount equal to the state average per pupil revenues, as defined in section 22-54-103 (12), for the current fiscal year for those students in attendance.
