In a confidential agreement recently disclosed in response to an Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request, the Alpine Board of Education, agreed to pay $80,000 toward an unidentified student’s 2014-15 school year placement at an undisclosed private school.  This payment represents 73.77% of the school’s $108,449 annual cost.  According to a “Stay Put” agreement, the payments will continue each year as long as the student remains enrolled there.
