Getting Public High School to pay for out of district class

My son is going to be a Junior in high school and wants to take an advanced coursed not currently offered at our public school. With a bunch of meetings, emails etc they finally approved the class for him and it will count towards graduation. We are meeting with admin to discuss the possibility of the system paying for the class.

It’s an AP course available at many comparable school systems around us but not ours. It’s listed in the AP Courses through the DOE. He has taken a more challenging path through the school system because he is bored and his needs are not being met. Any non traditional path has been complicated but eventually approved and he has performed well.

Any insight as to help persuade them? Every other kid like mine just goes to private schools but it’s an issue financially. If it doesn’t get approved I will need to do a side job to cover it which I will do to meet my kids needs. This class is relevant to his college interests.
