Board sets nonresident tuition rates for Vermont families
Summary
The board set nonresident tuition rates for Vermont students (board discussion referenced a $2,300 elementary figure and other grade-level rates) and discussed transportation pick-up logistics at the state line; one family already attends under the tuition arrangement.
The board discussed and approved nonresident tuition rates for Vermont students for the 2026-27 school year. Discussion focused on keeping the elementary tuition rate affordable (a figure around $2,300 was discussed in the meeting), aligning secondary rates to regional comparators, and the fact that one family was already approved to send a child under the tuition option.
Members also clarified transportation details: out-of-state pick-up points were planned at the state line and the district's transportation office will coordinate routes. Administrators said they try to keep nonresident tuition competitive with neighboring districts to encourage cross-border families to choose Salem for K–12 enrollment.
