Excellence in SBAP Private School Tuition (Overall Claims)

These districts led the state in identifying and claiming SBAP-eligible tuition costs. By systematically claiming these expenditures and confirming that their private school partners appear on the state's approved list of schools, these districts generated tens of thousands of dollars — and in some cases hundreds of thousands of dollars — in tuition-related SBAP reimbursement.
