Board Decides to Maintain Current Nonresident Policy After Attorney Caution
Summary
Following an attorney's recommendation, the board agreed to keep its existing policy and not accept new nonresident students because of cost and risk concerns; the decision was reached by consensus during Old Business.
The Board reviewed residency questions in Old Business and — following advice from the district's attorney to be cautious about admitting nonresident students because of potential needs and behaviors — reached consensus to retain the current nonresident policy.
Superintendent TheriJo Snyder relayed the attorney's recommendation that the board be "very careful" about residency decisions. Board members cited increased costs without offset and discussed the possibility of grandfathering existing students, but the prevailing consensus was to keep the existing policy in place at this time.
