The accompanying "20XX-20XX Application" form is the only acceptable format that may be used by an Approved Private Schools for Students with Disabilities (APSSD) to apply for and document the approval of an appropriate county office official to include as an allowable cost, the costs associated with the lease or purchase of an offsite administrative and/or business office as required by N.J.A.C. 6A:23A-18.5(d). A "20XX-20XX Application" that has been approved by an appropriate county office official remains effective for all of 20XX-20XX and also for future fiscal years unless and until a triggering event results in the need to re-apply for approval. When a triggering event occurs, a new "20XX-20XX Application" must be prepared, and the approval of the appropriate county office official documented.

Triggering events include:

1. The APSSD changes the location of its educational or administrative facility.
2. The APSSD vacates the leased or acquired offsite administrative and/or business office for a new location.
3. The APPSD negotiates a renewal or extension of the lease for the previously approved space.

This form must be completed by APSSD's that are operating programs in an educational facility that is not located in a public school district building and are also maintaining or planning to maintain administrative and/or business office space outside of the APSSD’s educational facility. Inclusive of APSSDs that are sharing space with another APSSD, costs associated with offsite office space must be supported by the pre-approval from the county office which then documents the related costs as necessary, allowable costs. A business and/or administrative office located in a different building on the same land parcel as the APSSD is not considered an offsite business and/or administrative office requiring county office approval. This form is not intended to replace the Related Party Transaction Form.
