H1B visa through nonprofit organization

[sangeetap]

I am a licensed special education teacher. Currently I am on a H4 visa. Recently I got a job offer for a teacher's job from a public school and I need to talk to them regarding sponsoring H1B visa for me. I would appreciate if you could answer following questions.

1. Does public school considered as a non-profit organization, so that they don’t have to wait for H1B quota?

2. What are H1B filling expenses for a non-profit organization.

3. Which part of the H1B filing expenses can be paid by me?

-Thanks

Public schools fall under the quota.

Only universities, non-profit research organizations affiliated with universities and government research organizations are exempt from the quota.
