Universal Citation: TN Code § 49-18-111 (2017)
- (a) (1) Tuition applicable to courses taken through an approved course provider shall be determined as follows:
- (A) The course provider shall receive payment from the LEA approving the provider and course for each eligible funded student at a fair and reasonable rate to be negotiated by the LEA and the approved course provider. The payment shall include all required fees and course materials. The LEA and approved course provider may take into account prices for similar levels of service in surrounding jurisdictions. Course payments shall be made by the department on behalf of the LEA in which the eligible funded student resides to the LEA offering the course through the approved course provider. The department shall deduct state basic education program (BEP) funds otherwise due to the LEA and send such funds to the LEA offering the course. LEAs may pay reasonable transportation costs for students enrolled in course access program courses;
- (B) The course provider shall accept the amount specified in subdivision (a)(1)(A) as total tuition and fees for the eligible funded student; and
- (C) The course provider may charge tuition to any eligible participating student, who is not an eligible funded student, up to an amount determined by the course provider and the department.
- (2) The state board shall adopt rules relative to the payments required through the course access program. The state board may set a cap on the amount of funds that can be charged for a particular course.
- (b) Payment to all approved course providers and their respective LEAs shall be based upon the student's successful completion of the course pursuant to rules and regulations adopted by the state board; however, in no event shall more than fifty percent (50%) of the payment amount be made prior to successful completion of the course and the earning of credit.
