How this rate is used

The DSSR education allowance reimburses U.S. government civilian employees for the cost of educating dependent children in kindergarten through grade 12 while stationed at La Paz. The State Department publishes an annual per-child maximum for each grade — the rates shown here are the at post maximums, which cover tuition and required fees at an adequate school serving the post. Away-from-post (boarding) and home-study rates apply where an adequate school is not available locally. Mobility, HR and payroll teams use these ceilings to budget dependent-education costs and set education grants.
