6150 - TUITION INCOME
The Board of Education shall assess tuition for attendance in County schools by students who are not entitled, under the normal enrollment rules and regulations, to receive a free public education in this County and whose enrollment has been approved by the Board, provided, that no tuition shall be assessed to any parent(s) or person(s) acting as guarding to the terms set forth in W.V. Code 18-5-16 and W.V. Code 18-5-16a.
In such case, the Board in the student's county of residence may be assessed a tuition that is agreed upon by this Board and the board in the county of the student's residence. Tuition for each full-time student, in such case, shall not exceed the difference between the State Aid per student received by this County for the subject student and the cost to this County for the subject student.
Tuition rates for non-resident students being enrolled in this County but, not enrolled pursuant to the terms set forth in WV Code 18-5-16 and WV Code 18-5-16a, shall be determined by the County. Rates will be available before the beginning of the school year or before the student's attendance commences. Charges shall not exceed the County's cost per student.
The Treasurer shall be responsible for the assessment and collection of tuition. For students enrolling in this County but, whose enrollment is not pursuant to the terms of either of the two (2) Code sections hereinabove referenced, tuition billing may be assessed daily in advance of the period for which the billing is made.
When payment of tuition by a parent is more than thirty (30) days overdue, legal action to collect such payments may be commenced and/or the parent or legal representative of the student may be advised that services shall be terminated on a date certain but, not prior to the passage of ten (10) business days. If the student whose services are to be terminated is within West Virginia's compulsory age for school attendance, the Board in the County and State of residency shall be notified of the date set for the termination of services.
