Policy JECA reviewed: residency, age limits and military-student rules described
Summary
The JECA policy text in the meeting packet lays out residency admission rules: resident students ages 5–19 may attend tuition-free; students who turn 19 remain eligible for the rest of the year; special-education students may be served up to age 21; military students must provide proof of residency within 10 days of transfer.
The meeting packet included the JECA policy text (Admission of Resident Students) for second reading. The policy states that resident students between ages 5 and 19 shall be allowed to attend school without paying tuition, and that a student who turns 19 during the school year remains eligible for the remainder of that year.
JECA also describes provisions for students receiving special education services to continue attending up to age 21 when needed to receive a diploma or modified diploma. The policy references military children and requires parents of military students to provide proof of residency within 10 days after the date of military transfer or pending transfer indicated on the official military order.
The JECA packet lists legal references including ORS 109.056, ORS 327.006, ORS 339.115, ORS 339.133, ORS 339.134, ORS 339.139 and ORS 433.26. The policy was included on the consent/second-reading portion of the packet; the work session did not record a formal adoption vote in the transcript excerpt.
