H.199 is a bill introduced by several representatives aimed at regulating the tuition rates charged by receiving public schools. The bill proposes to limit these rates to the average announced tuition of union elementary or high schools, as applicable. Additionally, it seeks to prohibit receiving public schools from imposing any extra fees on sending school districts for special education or other services that are not clearly accounted for.

Furthermore, the bill aims to amend the calculation of excess spending by eliminating tuition payments made by nonoperating school districts from the education spending total, as defined in 32 V.S.A. 5401(12). This change is intended to provide clarity and fairness in the financial responsibilities of school districts regarding tuition and spending calculations.
