§ 836. Tuition overcharge or undercharge
(a) Annually, on or before November 1, the Secretary shall inform each school board of
a receiving public school, each board of trustees of a receiving approved independent
school for which the Secretary has calculated a net cost per pupil, and each sending
school district in Vermont of the calculated net cost per elementary or secondary
pupil in the receiving schools. Each school board or board of trustees of a receiving
school shall then determine whether it overcharged or undercharged any sending district
for tuition charges and shall notify the district by December 15 of the same year
of the amount due or the amount to be refunded or credited.
(b) If the sending district has paid tuition charges in excess of three percent of the
calculated net cost per elementary or secondary pupil and is not sending enough students
to the receiving district to use the overcharge funds as credit against tuition, the
receiving district shall refund the overcharge money by July 31; provided, however,
that the refund shall be in the amount that exceeded a three-percent overcharge. Interest
owed the sending district on overcharge monies shall begin to accrue on December 1,
at the rate of one-half percent per month.
(c) If the receiving district has undercharged tuition in an amount three percent or more
than the calculated net cost per elementary or secondary pupil, the sending district
shall pay the receiving district an amount equal to the amount of the undercharge
that is between three percent and ten percent of the net cost per pupil. If payment
is not made by July 31 of the year following the year in which the undercharge was
determined, interest owed the receiving district on undercharge monies shall begin
to accrue on August 1, at the rate of one percent per month. (Added 1995, No. 34, § 4; amended 1995, No. 129 (Adj. Sess.), § 1; 1997, No. 138 (Adj. Sess.), § 22; 2005, No. 54, § 10; 2013, No. 60, § 3; 2013, No. 92 (Adj. Sess.), § 102, eff. Feb. 14, 2014.)
