J1600 - Tuition Waiver
Rule:
Oregon law and school board policy state that a child must attend school in the district where the parents reside; otherwise, the student will be charged a tuition fee for attendance.In accordance with the aforementioned law, District 4J tuition is based on the annual cost of educating a child. The total amount may be paid in a lump sum, or it may be divided into monthly payments.
The district can sometimes waive tuition depending upon circumstances involved and by meeting certain legal requirements. However, tuition is not waived because of a person's inability to pay the tuition fee. In addition, a tuition waiver will not be granted for the sole purpose of attending a school in 4J. Tuition waivers will be granted for extenuating circumstances only. Tuition waiver forms and power of attorney forms are available in the Instruction Department. Approving a waiver may require approval from the district where the student resides.
