An act relating to tuition charged by public schools

This bill limits tuition rates charged by Vermont public schools that receive students from other districts, requiring them to set rates at the average tuition of similar union schools. It prohibits these schools from charging additional fees for special education, facility reservations, or other unaccounted costs. The bill also removes tuition paid by nonoperating school districts from their education spending calculations when determining excess spending under state law. These changes directly affect receiving school districts, sending districts, and nonoperating districts with students.
