Mr. McGibblets. The ASD gets funding for these students that are in NorthStar. Since these students are no longer being "educated" by the ASD, the ASD should no longer get state funding for them. Remember, the ASD sees every student as a funding source, some more, some less. It would be merely a transfer of funds from the ASD back to the state and then to the NorthStar. BTW, ASD already funds private educational enterprises such as Sylvan Learning Centers.
