ADMISSION OF NON-RESIDENT STUDENTS
5.11.6
Students who do
not legally qualify as residents of the Town of Millis will be charged tuition except
as special considerations which fall within the following categories:
1. To provide temporarily for the
continuous progress of children whose families move to or from the Town at times when
not being able to attend school might disrupt their ongoing education.
2. To bring into the school system on
occasion students from other countries who are the guests of residents under exchange
programs that have been recognized for purposes of school attendance by the
Committee.
Non-resident
students who have been given special consideration for the reasons stated above, or
unless enrolled through an agreement with another school system or agency, will be
charged tuition based on a per pupil cost determined in accordance with state law.
This cost will be determined annually, and the tuition set by the Committee.
3. Upon written request to the
Superintendent of Schools and approval by the Committee, non-resident students whose
parents are employed in the Millis Public Schools as non-instructional employees will
be granted permission to attend this school system.
Non-resident
students under this special consideration will be charged tuition based on an annual
fixed rate of seventy percent (70%) of the per pupil cost as reported by the
State.
The Committee
will approve specific regulations which govern the admission of all non-resident
students.
The
superintendent will develop the needed procedures for admission of any non-resident
and tuition payment. Non-resident students will comply with age and grade level
requirements in force for this school system. Continuation of non-resident
students in the schools will be dependent on satisfactory citizenship, performance
and space availability.
