(a) Tuition for high school students shall be paid by the school district in which the
student is a resident.
(b) Except as otherwise provided for technical students, the district shall pay the full
tuition charged its students attending a public high school in Vermont or an adjoining
state or a public or approved independent school in Vermont functioning as an approved
area career technical center, or an independent school meeting education quality standards;
provided:
(1) If a payment made to a public high school or an independent school meeting education
quality standards is three percent more or less than the calculated net cost per secondary
pupil in the receiving school district or independent school for the year of attendance
then the district or school shall be reimbursed, credited, or refunded pursuant to
section 836 of this title.
(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection or of subsection 825(b) of this title, the board of the receiving public school district, public or approved independent
school functioning as an area career technical center, or independent school meeting
education quality standards may enter into tuition agreements with the boards of sending
districts that have terms differing from the provisions of those subsections, provided
that the receiving district or school must offer identical terms to all sending districts,
and further provided that the statutory provisions apply to any sending district that
declines the offered terms.
(c) The district shall pay an amount not to exceed the average announced tuition of Vermont
union high schools for the year of attendance for its students enrolled in an approved
independent school not functioning as a Vermont area career technical center, or any
higher amount approved by the electorate at an annual or special meeting warned for
that purpose. (Added 1969, No. 298 (Adj. Sess.), § 55; amended 1971, No. 52, § 5, eff. April 14, 1971; 1975, No. 27, § 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1976; 1983, No. 247 (Adj.
