Policy: JBCB-3
Provisional Resident and Non-Resident Students—Tuition
Any student whose parent(s) or guardian(s) or person who has
legal custody presents evidence to the satisfaction of the
superintendent of schools of plans to move into the Lyme School
District within forty school days of the initial enrollment
date may be enrolled as a provisional resident. If the parent(s),
guardian(s), or person who has legal custody becomes a district
resident within the forty school days, the student will be
considered a resident student from the initial enrollment
date. If residence is not established within forty days, tuition
shall be charged from the forty-first day until such time
as residence is established. Exceptions, such as reasonable
limits or extensions, are at the discretion of the superintendent
of schools.
Any student whose parent(s), guardian(s) or legal custodian
moves away or otherwise ends residency in the Lyme School
District after April 15 may, upon written request of the parent(s),
guardian(s), or legal custodian, complete that school year
as a resident student.
All students not fitting into the categories described above
will be considered non-resident students, and will be accepted
for enrollment at the discretion of the superintendent of
schools on an annual basis as long as space is available in
a suitable program within the existing resources of the school
district. All non-resident students will be charged full tuition,
except that payment of tuition will not be required for children
of non-resident full-time employees of the Lyme School District.
Tuition payment will also be waived in proportion to percentage
of employment for non-resident part-time employees of the
Lyme School District.
The offer of tuition-free or adjusted-tuition attendance to
children of non-resident employees of the Lyme School District
is unilateral, is regarded as separate from contracts and
working agreements that govern all other aspects of employment
in the district and may be terminated at the end of any given
school year by a decision of the Lyme school board.
