Sent: Friday, October 16, 2020 12:02 PM
Summer 2020 Orphanage claims will be picked up in I-Star on Monday, November 2, 2020, per statute. All districts that reported Orphanage students (Fund Codes D, E, or F) attending summer school following the end of the 2019-20 school year are required to complete a claim in order to receive reimbursement. Reimbursement information for this claim will be entered into the 2019-20 school year. If students received special transportation (related service of 25) to attend summer school, 100% of those charges should be included on the claim record.
