Board pauses expansion of international-student enrollments; asks superintendent to research Pathways Academy request
Summary
District staff asked whether to accept new international students after ending a relationship with a prior provider. Staff reported 21 enrolled international students and said six recent enrollment requests were turned away; the board asked the superintendent to defer and report back.
District staff asked the board for direction on international-student enrollments after the dissolution of a prior relationship with US University Pathways. The staff member who presented (identified in discussion as Bob) said the district currently has "21 students... with a tuition amount of $5,000 per year," and noted prior contracts that charged lower rates for some students. He said Pathways Academy LLC requested enrollment for a student the district has not previously served.
Board members raised concerns about state limits on tuition for public education, the administrative burden of managing tuition agreements, and whether the district should stop taking new enrollments and simply finish educating current students. Several board members suggested pausing new enrollments under the current model; Interim Superintendent Jim Pyle offered to research legal and operational options and return with guidance.
