# 4.4 Guidelines For Supplemental Programs and Classes (Texas)

At OpenEd, we believe you know your student best!

We also understand that students learn in a variety of ways, using a mix of programs, classes, and resources.

Below is a clear outline of what **is** and **is not** approved for reimbursement when it comes to supplemental educational programs.

**Looking for an example invoice to show your student's supplemental program? [Check this out!](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/105X4BVj_Gj1D5MrLTI_mxnc5rc28I7-80DU6G4RkXFE/edit?gid=943090944#gid=943090944)**

### **Approved for Reimbursement**

OpenEd may reimburse for:

### **1. Non-Accredited Supplemental Programs Covering Multiple Subjects**

This includes programs like **micro-schools** and **co-ops** that provide instruction in multiple subjects but are not accredited *or* full-time (four or more days a week).

***Example of an acceptable receipt for a micro-school/co-op:***

### **2. Supplemental Classes (Not Full-Time Tuition) at Accredited Programs**

This includes individual classes taken through accredited private programs, universities, or other accredited educational institutions.

***Example of an acceptable receipt for accredited programs:***

**Please keep in mind that a receipt must include the following:**

- Date of transaction
- Description of each class or service purchased
- Price paid for each item
- Payment method (e.g., Visa, check, etc.)
- Vendor contact information (phone number or email address)

***If you pay by check, please make sure to provide proof that the payment was processed.***

**Important:** OpenEd does **not** reimburse tuition for traditional full-time accredited private schools.

Reimbursements are for **supplemental support only**.

### **Not Approved for Reimbursement**

OpenEd will **not** reimburse for:

- Full-time accredited private schools
- Publicly-funded charter schools

***Example of a receipt that would NOT be accepted:***
