Lipan ISD approves tuition for transfer students, with grandfathering and staff exemptions
Summary
The board voted 7-0 to permit charging tuition for transfer students at the statutory maximum starting in 2026–2027, grandfathering current transfers and exempting employees' children.
Trustees approved a policy change allowing the district to charge tuition to transfer students effective with the 2026–2027 school year. The recorded motion states the board will set tuition at the maximum amount allowed by statute; the motion also specifies that current transfer students and their immediate siblings will be grandfathered and that any children of district employees will not be charged tuition.
"A motion was made by Ellyn Grove to approve the district to charge tuition to transfer students. The Board will approve setting the tuition at the maximum amount within statutory limits. Current transfer students and their immediate siblings that will be attending Lipan ISD in the future will be grandfathered in. Any children of district employees will not be charged the tuition amount. This will be effective the 2026-2027 school year," the minutes record. Sheree Reynolds seconded the motion and it passed 7-0.
The motion sets policy direction but leaves the exact tuition amount to a future board action or administrative setting within statutory limits; the minutes do not list the statutory citation for the maximum amount or the process for determining final tuition rates.
