Any board of education may charge a reasonable tuition fee per month for
each child attending its schools whose parent, guardian, or other legal
custodian is not a bona fide resident of the district. Any controversy as to the
fee shall be submitted to the Kentucky Board of Education for final settlement.
The fee shall be paid by the board of education of the school district in which
the pupil resides, except in cases where the board makes provision for the
child's education within his district. If a board of education is required to pay a
pupil's tuition fee, the pupil shall be admitted to a school only upon proper
certificate of the board of education of the district in which he resides.
When it appears to the board of education of any school district that it is
convenient for a pupil of any grade residing in that district to attend an
approved public school in another district, the board of education may enter
into a tuition contract with the public school authorities of the other school
district for that purpose, but before a contract is entered into with public school
authorities in another state the school shall have been approved by the state
school authorities of that state through the grades in which the pupil belongs.
When a district undertakes, under operation of a tuition contract or of law, to
provide in its school for pupils residing in another district, the district of their
residence shall share the total cost of the school, including transportation when
furnished at public expense, in proportion to the number of pupils or in
accordance with contract agreement between the two (2) boards.
