Henry County R-I board adopts nonresident tuition policy, sets 2024–25 rate at $10,800
Summary
The Henry County R-I Board of Education adopted policy S-100-P allowing admission of nonresident students and set the 2024–25 tuition rate at $10,800, basing the fee on prior-year per-pupil cost. The vote was made on Sept. 19, 2024.
The Henry County R-I Board of Education on Sept. 19 adopted policy S-100-P governing admission of nonresident students and set the 2024–25 tuition rate at $10,800.
Superintendent Brad Hunter introduced policy S-100-P, which the minutes say “pertains to students who do not meet the residency requirements of the District” and grants the board authority to admit nonresident students and establish tuition fees based on the previous school year’s per-pupil cost. On a motion by Jake Drenon, seconded by Dr. Jamie Burkhart, the board approved the policy and the specified tuition rate. The minutes record the motion as carried.
Why it matters: the policy gives the board a formal, written procedure for admitting students who live outside the district and sets a tuition amount for 2024–25; that fee will affect any family seeking nonresident enrollment and the district’s projected tuition revenue. The minutes do not record how many nonresident students, if any, the district currently enrolls or any projected revenue change tied to the new rate.
What the record shows: the board packet references policy S-100-P and states the $10,800 rate is calculated from the prior year’s per-pupil cost. The motion to adopt was moved by Jake Drenon and seconded by Dr. Jamie Burkhart; no roll call tally is included in the minutes for this item.
Next steps: the policy is effective immediately per the minutes. The district did not provide additional details in the record about waiver criteria, tuition billing procedures, or anticipated enrollment under the new policy.
