AN ACT relative to schools approved for a school tuition program by a school board.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 Change of School or Assignment; School Tuition Program. Amend RSA 193:3, VI to read as follows:
VI. If there is no public school for the child's grade in the resident district, the school board may contract with another public school in another school district or with any private school that has been approved as a school tuition program by the school board, and may raise and appropriate money for the purposes of the contract, if the school district decides it is in the best interest of the pupil. The district may either assign all children to schools that have been approved as a school tuition program, or allow each child's parent to choose a school from among schools that have been approved as a school tuition program. To enroll a child in a tuition school approved by the local school board whose tuition cost is above the district’s established tuition cost per pupil as determined and approved by the board, the local board may require the parent to pay the tuition cost difference as long as at least one option does not require additional tuition payment from the parent.
2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
