The state said that the district was notified on February 25, almost two months before approval of the legal steps, about a outdated regulation with a law that was lifted in 2015. Before 2015, districts could be refunded from the fund without filling out an application.

The state said that since 2016 all state schools have had access to the contingency for special education and have to access the money through the application process.
