Currently, school districts cannot charge tuition for the children of any teacher employed by the school district if their resident district is outside of the school district they are working. Additionally, such students count as resident pupils for the purpose of state aid for the school district they are attending.
This bill expands who can qualify for this tuition waiver and state aid qualification and allows any child whose parent is a contractor or regular employee of a nonresident school district to attend such school district without paying tuition and to count as a resident pupil for the purpose of state aid.
School districts can require documentation from contractors and impose a minimum number of days worked, up to 60, in order to qualify for these benefits.
