<p class="MsoNormal">This year, DOE only provided the high-cost OOD tuition adjustment for tuition paid from local general fund, so my number is much lower than last year. Last year, we received tuition adjustment for payments from the local budget and Local
Entitlement (for amounts exceeding high cost threshold). <o:p></o:p></p>
