To much room in that to 'game the system' IMHO. Lump-sum would be  
best, you can sue/petition/beg/ask district to accomodate your child's  
learning differences, thanks to NCLB.

When a child goes to a charter school a pre-defined 'tuition' is  
charged to the sending district, I see no reason why a similar  
arrangement wouldn't work for private schools, but the payment should  
be standardized for all schools...

IMHO, of course.
