Ars†15-0823 admission; residents of other school districts; nonresidents of this state; tuition

The Governing Board may admit children who do not reside in the school district but who reside within this state upon such terms as it prescribes. Except as provided below, children of nonresidents of this state may be admitted upon payment of a reasonable tuition fixed by the Governing Board.

1. Does the Governing Board admit children of nonresident teaching and research faculty of state colleges and universities and children of nonresident graduate or undergraduate students of state colleges or universities whose parent's presence at such state college or university is of international, national, state or local benefit without payment of tuition? Are children admitted in accordance with the provisions of this subsection categorized as resident students for the purposes of determination and apportionment of state aid?

2. Does the Governing Board admit children who are residents of the United States but are nonresidents of this state without payment of tuition if evidence indicates that the child's physical, mental, moral or emotional health is best served by placement with a grandparent, brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, aunt or uncle who is a resident within the school district, unless the Governing Board determines that the placement is solely for the purpose of obtaining an education in this state without payment of tuition?

3. Does the Governing Board admit nonresident foreign students who are in exchange programs recognized by the United States Department of State and the State Board of Education without payment of tuition or as it may otherwise prescribe?

4. Does the Governing Board admit children who are residents of the United States without payment of tuition if evidence indicates that because the parents are homeless or the child is abandoned, the child's physical, mental, moral, or emotional health is best served by placement with a person who does not have legal custody of the child and who is a resident within the school district, unless the Governing Board determines that the placement is solely for the purpose of obtaining an education in this state without payment of tuition?
