WJCC staff present proposed nonresident tuition rates for 2025–26, regular rate $14,323
Summary
Staff presented recommended nonresident tuition rates derived from the FY26 budget: $14,323 for regular education (a 4.8% increase) and $24,625 for special education (presented as a 5.9% increase; transcript dollar-change figure unclear). The board reviewed the item; no final vote was recorded.
Williamsburg-James City County School Division staff presented recommended nonresident tuition rates for the 2025–26 school year, saying the figures were calculated from the adopted FY 2026 budget and the division’s established methodology.
Finance presenter Ms. Ewing said the recommended regular-education tuition rate is $14,323, an increase of $656 or 4.8% over fiscal 2025. She presented a recommended special-education base tuition rate of $24,625 and said this represented a roughly 5.9% increase over fiscal 2025; the dollar amount of that increase stated in the transcript was unclear.
The presenter noted the special-education figure is a base rate and that actual charges for an individual student would vary according to services required. Ms. Ewing closed by offering to answer questions; none were recorded that changed the recommendation or produced a vote at this meeting.
Why it matters: nonresident tuition rates determine how much families who live outside the division pay to enroll their students and affect budget projections for tuition revenue.
No formal action on the rates was recorded at the meeting; staff characterized the presentation as the annual review that accompanies the division’s budget process.
