H.199 is a bill introduced to regulate the tuition rates charged by receiving public schools in Vermont. The bill proposes that these schools can only charge tuition rates that align with the average announced tuition of union elementary or high schools, depending on the context. Additionally, it aims to prevent receiving public schools from imposing extra fees on sending school districts for special education or other services that are not clearly accounted for.

Furthermore, the bill seeks to amend the calculation of excess spending by excluding tuition payments made by nonoperating school districts from their education spending totals, as defined in 32 V.S.A. 5401(12). This change is intended to provide a clearer framework for assessing education spending and ensuring that tuition rates remain manageable for sending districts.
