SCKDLN Instructor Fee (Art – Kuehny)

The Art class from Miss Kuehny is an instructor hired by the network and has a different fee structure. The fee for this class will be the costs associated with hiring and the administrative fees divided by the sites receiving the class. Each site must sign a year’s commitment and will be billed semesterly. The cost will be on the yearly agreement. Network schools will not pay the Class Flat Fee for this class. Non-network (nomad) schools will still pay $1,500 per semester in addition to the class fee.

Additional Fees (Classes taken outside the network)

Districts taking out-of-network classes will pay the regular network fees per class per semester (see the above price structure) and will also be billed for any additional class fees above the normal network price.

Examples: 1) A district takes a class from the ICAN Network for $500 per semester. The district will be billed $750 from our network. The network will pay ICAN $500 and retain $250. 2) A district takes a class from Greenbush for $2,000 per semester. The district will be billed by our network for the entire amount which will be paid to Greenbush from our network.

Billing

All billing will come from the network. If a district receives a bill from a different network, it should be submitted to the network billing agent. (This information needs to be communicated to other network directors by our network).
