§ 827. Designation of an independent high school as the public high school of a school district

(a) A school district not maintaining an approved public high school may vote on such terms or conditions as it deems appropriate, to designate an approved independent school as the public high school of the district.

(b) When the board of trustees of such school votes to accept this designation the school shall be regarded as a public school for tuition purposes and the school district shall pay tuition to the school only, until such time as the school district or the board of trustees of the school votes to rescind the designation.

(c) A parent or guardian who is dissatisfied with the instruction provided at the school or who cannot obtain for his child the kind of course or instruction desired there, or whose child can be better accommodated in an approved high school nearer his home, may request the school board to pay tuition to another approved high school.

(d) The school board may pay tuition to another approved high school as requested if in its judgment that will best serve the interests of the pupil. Its decision shall be final in regard to the institution the pupil may attend. (Added 1969, No. 298 (Adj. Sess.), § 58; amended 1989, No. 271 (Adj. Sess.), § 5; 1991, No. 24, § 4.)
