Nonpublic Tuition Assistance Program
The Nonpublic Tuition Assistance Program (NTAP) is the State aid program for students placed in nonpublic special education schools through the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process. The State share of the cost of nonpublic special education is calculated in accordance with Education Article §8-415, Annotated Code of Maryland. Children placed in nonpublic special education schools are included in the September 30th enrollment count with a code of 09 attached to their file to indicate they are in a nonpublic placement. These children are not included in the Foundation calculations because of the tuition reimbursement process for a nonpublic placement.
