Board approves two out-of-district attendance agreements; home district to cover tuition next year
Summary
The Lincoln K-12 Schools board approved two student attendance agreements for out-of-district students and clarified that the students' home district will be billed for tuition starting next school year under OPI-calculated rates.
The Lincoln K-12 Schools board approved two out-of-district student attendance agreements after a motion from a staff member and a second from a board member. The agreements cover Joseph Curtis and a Gerald family student, and board members confirmed the students' home district will be responsible for tuition billing next year under Office of Public Instruction (OPI) calculations.
Board discussion clarified that the home district (Powell County/Elmville Elementary, as cited in the packet) will pay tuition; the tuition billing will not appear until next fiscal year, so it will not affect the current-year budget. A staff member said the district had not filed attendance agreements for the last couple of years and asked the board to approve the two current agreements so records match audit requirements. A second was recorded before the approvals proceeded.
Board members asked whether the district could retroactively collect tuition for prior years; staff said it could not. The staff member noted Heltonville historically did not charge tuition because it is a very small school, and that recovering past tuition is not feasible. The board requested the paperwork be filed and reflected in the district records.
The approvals were handled as part of routine business; no roll-call vote tally was recorded in the transcript.
