The Board of Education voted in open session to uphold the administration’s determination that student 80425‑1 was not a resident of the district for the 2022–23, 2023–24 and 2024–25 school years, and ordered tuition charges totaling $70,810.48, the board recorded during a motion.
The motion, read aloud during the meeting, said the board “has fully considered and uphold[ed] the administration's determination that student 80425‑1 has not been a resident of the district for the 2022 to 2023, 2023 to 2024, and 2024 to 2025 school years.” It then set year-by-year tuition amounts: $22,676.24 for 2022–23, $23,973.42 for 2023–24 and $24,160.82 for 2024–25, for a total tuition due of $70,810.48.
The motion included per‑day rates and attendance counts as stated in the meeting record: the motion said a rate of $132.45 per day for “181 attendance days” for one of the years and referenced a $133.49 per‑day figure in relation to the attendance count given for another year in the motion. The transcript text for one of the attendance‑day counts is unclear.
A board member seconded the motion and the board proceeded to a recorded vote. The meeting record shows board members responding in the affirmative during the roll call after the motion was read and seconded. The motion was entered into the official minutes as passed.
The board did not state in the meeting record any appeal timeline, payment schedule, waiver process or further administrative steps for collecting the tuition. The motion as read confined the board’s action to upholding the administration’s residency determination and setting the tuition amounts.
The transcript does not include additional statements from district staff explaining the residency investigation or from the student’s family. It also does not reference a specific statute, policy number or code section that governed the residency finding in the motion text provided to the board.
