Board approves $22,990 per-pupil tuition rate based on FY26 budget and October enrollment
Summary
Board approved a tuition rate of $22,990, calculated by dividing the FY26 operating budget ($40.6M) by October 1 enrollment (1,766). The motion passed by voice vote after a brief presentation explaining the formula.
The Cromwell Board of Education voted to approve a per-pupil tuition rate of $22,990 for the district, a figure computed by dividing the district's adopted operating budget by the October 1 enrollment.
District finance staff summarized the calculation: using a $40,600,000 operating budget and an October 1 enrollment of 1,766 students, the resulting per-pupil figure is $22,990. "You divide the total amount of money by the number of students, and you get 22,990," the presenter said while explaining the reference document.
Miss Franklin moved to approve the tuition rate as presented and Mister Schuman seconded; the board approved the motion by voice vote. No roll-call tally was read into the record in the transcript.
The approved rate establishes the amount the district would charge students who enroll from outside Cromwell and provides a per-pupil benchmark used in budgeting conversations and inter-district tuition calculations.
