2007 PAYMENT OF NON-RESIDENT TUITION

2007.1 Prior to the admission of a non-resident student, the principal or other person in charge of the school or program to which the non-resident student is admitted shall require written proof of payment of non-resident tuition, pursuant to the rules and procedures set forth in this section.

2007.2 Except as provided in § 2007.3, an adult student or minor student's parent or guardian must make payment of tuition for each semester or term at the established rate for the program to which the student is admitted in one lump sum prior to admission.

2007.3 Extended payment contracts may be entered into between the D.C. Public Schools and the adult student, or the minor student's parent or guardian, upon a showing of evidence by the applicant that the following circumstances of need exist:

(a) A comparable educational program is not currently being offered by the public schools in the city or school district where the student is a resident; and

(b) Severe, temporary financial problems currently prevent the adult student, or student's parent or guardian, from making the complete payment of tuition as required by § 2007.2.

2007.4 An extended payment contract, as provided under § 2007.3, shall become null and void upon failure by the responsible adult(s) to fulfill the payment installment provisions of the contract. When payment installment provisions are not met, payment of the entire amount required by § 2007.2 shall be required prior to the continued attendance of the non-resident student.

2007.5 Tuition rates shall be reviewed annually and fixed by the Board of Education upon the recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools in the manner as is required by the Code of Laws of the District of Columbia. Upon final approval of the tuition rates, the rate schedule shall be published in the D.C. Register.
