(a) The Arkansas School for the Blind is authorized to expend available funds for the purpose of sending children under the age of twenty-one (21), who are deaf as well as blind and for which there are no facilities for education in this state, to any school, institution, or other place outside the State of Arkansas providing a qualified program of education for such children.
(b) The funds may be spent for room, board, tuition, transportation, and other items which are necessarily relevant to the education of such children.
(c) In interpreting and carrying out the provisions of this section, the words "deaf-blind children", wherever used, will be construed to include any child whose combination of handicaps of deafness and blindness would prevent him or her from profiting satisfactorily from educational programs now provided for the blind child or the deaf child by the State of Arkansas.
(d) The school is authorized to determine if such children should be sent to such out-of-state facilities.
(e) The school is authorized to promulgate such rules and regulations as it deems necessary and proper for carrying out the purposes and intent of this section.
