The Board of Education shall assess tuition for attendance in District schools by students who are not entitled to receive a free public education in this District and whose enrollment has been approved by the Board.

Transfer tuition students will be accepted in the Bridgman Public Schools if room is available after accommodating resident students and Schools of Choice students. Once accepted, they shall remain without re-application. Any student who applies for transfer tuition status must meet with the Superintendent of Schools with his/her parent or guardian. Students will only be accepted if in good standing with their current school and if they have demonstrated good citizenship. If the student has been suspended or expelled within the past two (2) years, he/she will not be considered for admission.

Tuition rates shall be determined and approved annually by the Board and shall not be less than the basic foundation allowance as established by law.

The Business Manager shall be responsible for the assessment and collection of tuition. Tuition billing may be assessed daily in advance of the period for which the billing is made.

Transfer tuition will only cover those programs offered locally. Any off-campus course fees, such as CTE, dual enrollment, and/or special education needs, shall be borne entirely by the family, not the Bridgman Public Schools.
