ConVal sets 2026–27 out-of-district tuition at $10,751.03 amid legislative uncertainty
Summary
The board set the 2026–27 out-of-district tuition rate at $10,751.03 (40% of the state average per-pupil cost) after discussion about possible open-enrollment legislation that could change funding arrangements; board debated whether to use grade-level differentiated rates but ultimately adopted the single figure.
The Contoocook Valley School District board voted to set out-of-district tuition for the 2026–27 school year at $10,751.03, following administration recommendations based on 40% of the state-average per-pupil cost formula historically used by the district.
Board members discussed pending state legislation on open enrollment and different models (including proposals that could change funding to a state-funded or charter-funding model). Several members noted uncertainty in the legislature and asked whether the district should set differentiated rates by grade level as the contract (CVEA) does for staff. Administration said the rate is the historical formula and that staff need to notify families of the current tuition figure so they can plan.
After a motion and second, the board approved the $10,751.03 rate by voice vote and left staff-related reduced rates to existing contract language rather than board action.
