Board approves list of schools accepting tuition, keeps rates unchanged for 2025–26
Summary
The board approved which schools will accept tuition students in 2025–26 (Science Hill High, Indian Trail, Fairmont and Cherokee on their respective sides) and voted to keep tuition rates the same as the current year.
Johnson City Schools approved the list of schools that will accept tuition students for the 2025–26 school year and voted to keep tuition rates unchanged.
Miss Pierce (district enrollment staff) explained that the district projects enrollment and capacity to decide which schools will accept tuition. The board approved Science Hill High School and Indian Trail as accepting tuition, with Liberty Bell declining to accept tuition due to capacity differences. Fairmont (on the Indian Charles side) and Cherokee (on the Liberty Bell side) were named as the designated elementary schools to accept tuition on their respective sides. The earlier start to tuition acceptance (April 7) was intended to help families avoid private-school hold fees.
The board also approved the recommended tuition rates for 2025–26 with no change from the current year.
Next steps: staff will publicize tuition dates and application information to families and community partners, and the district will coordinate outreach about availability and fees.
