STACSystem to Track and Account for Children (STAC)
STAC, Special Aids and Medicaid Unit is the unit within the NYS Education Department responsible for processing requests for Commissioner's approval for reimbursement. This includes reimbursement approval for the costs of providing services to preschool and school-age students placed in special education programs at public and SED-approved private schools, special-act school districts, BOCES, and at state-supported and state-operated schools for the deaf and blind. It also includes reimbursement approval for students who have been determined to be homeless or runaway youth and for education services provided to incarcerated youth. This year STAC will process over 225,000 requests for reimbursement to school districts and municipalities.

Increase in School Districts’ Share of Maintenance CostsChapter 58 of the Laws of 2011 amended
section 4405 of the Education Law:
Increase school districts’ share of ten-month school year maintenance costs from 20 %to 38.424 %.
Effective for services provided on or after January 1, 2011
The social services district pays the residential school for maintenance costs based on the OCFS ten-month maintenance rate for the residential
school, and Bills child’s school district of residence for 38.424 % of that maintenance
cost. The school district of residence is required to reimburse the social services
district within 60 days from the date of the voucher.
There is no change to the funding shares for maintenance costs for two-month summer programs. SED will continue to pay 70 % of summer
maintenance costs while school districts and counties will continue to pay 20% and 10 % respectively.
