New Rochelle spent at least $3,328,452.60 in tuition and transportation on four students at Shrub Oak International School — a private school the State Education Department said in writing was not state-approved, could not be recommended by a committee on special education, and had no state funding mechanism — and payments continued into 2023-24 after warnings in 2020, a hearing, and a State Review Officer decision.
