LEVERETT
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
TUITIONED
IN STUDENTS POLICY
Non-resident students who
wish to enroll in the Leverett Elementary School must apply for such admission
to the School Committee. The School Committee will receive, evaluate, and
decide on each request on an individual basis. The School Committee may allow
enrollment on a tuition basis for non-resident students taking into account
such factors as the space and services available for additional students, the
effect additional students would have on staffing rations, the reasons for the
admission request, and all other relevant information about the applicant.
Regular education tuition
will be based on the current year’s budgeted cost in the following areas: all
administrative costs, all non-special education instructional costs, all pupil
support services costs except pupil transportation and food service, all
operations and maintenance costs, all costs for employee benefits. These costs
will be divided by the October 1 enrollment to determine the tuition. Special
education tuition will be subject to the discretion of the School Committee.
The School Committee may
waive tuition in the event of compelling educational need. The Committee
reserves the right to review the status of non-resident students taking into
account attendance, tardiness, the child’s behavior, family cooperation, and
the availability of space of regular and special education services.
