File: JFAB

ADMISSION OF NONRESIDENT STUDENTS

The residents of Regional School Unit 1 bear financial responsibility for the public school system which is charged with providing education for school-age residents. To ensure that school funds are spent for the benefit of these residents, the board will limit free admission to children whose parents/legal guardians reside in RSU 1, except as:

A. Admission of nonresident students is required under the law;

B. The board has entered into an agreement with a nearby school administrative unit, and tuition fees are paid by the other unit as permitted by law;

C. The board has entered into an agreement with a nearby school administrative unit where the superintendents of both units recognize a student placement to be in the best interest of the student;

D. Tuition for students residing on state-owned property within or outside of the system is paid by the state;

E. The student qualifies as a "temporary resident" under the terms of the law;

F. Provide for the continuous progress of children whose families move to and from the system during the school year;

G. Allow all students who have completed their junior years to continue to attend the high school.

Special permission may be granted upon recommendation by the superintendent and approval by the board.

All requirements regarding age, health examinations, and immunizations which apply to resident students shall also apply to nonresident students who enroll in our schools.
