Tuition Fees

The Board of Education will permit non-resident students from other school districts to
attend local schools when they can be accommodated in existing classes. The students
or their sending district shall pay a tuition fee to be established annually by the Board of
Education. Students will be charged any excess costs for programs and services provided
beyond the general education curriculum in addition to the base tuition rate.
Non-resident attendance with tuition shall be for one school year or less to be extended
pending approval. The Superintendent shall retain the right to terminate a non-resident
student should the student violate school or district policy as set forth in the contract
between the parents/guardians and the Board. The tuition fee may be adjusted as
changes in costs indicate unless a multiple year agreement to provide educational
facilities is entered into with another Board of Education. Notice shall be given at least
one year prior to the discontinuance of service for non-resident high school students.

When a student is accepted into a special education program, the tuition cost shall be
the total of any excess costs for programs and services provided beyond the general
education curriculum or as set by the Board of Education. The per student expense is
defined as the approved annual budget less transportation, special education, and
free/reduced lunch which is then divided by the project enrollment.
