6150 - CASH TUITION TRANSFER OUT OF DISTRICT STUDENT TUITION TRANSFERS
The Board of School Trustees may accept out of District students on a cash transfer tuition basis provided the transfer request is compliant with the terms and policies as stated below. A cash tuition transfer is required anytime a student is interested in attending the NA-FC School Corporation and legal settlement of the guardian does not reside within the jurisdiction of the NA-FC Schools.
Cash tuition transfers may be approved upon satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:
Cash transfers will not be allowed in situations where school class sizes are determined by the School Administration to be too large to accommodate the transfer request. The Superintendent will not approve a cash tuition transfer without discussion with the receiving building principal.
Cash tuition transfers will not be issued to students who have been expelled or pending expulsion, or have a history of suspensions by another school entity.
Students who have a record of poor attendance will not be granted a cash tuition transfer.
Students with a record of poor academic performance will not be granted a transfer, unless approved by the Superintendent.
All cash transfers are issued on a year-to-year basis and may be revoked at any time. A cash transfer request will not be permitted for any second or succeeding year if there are unpaid book fees or any other charges required by the School Corporation.
Transfers will be revoked if:
false or misleading information was provided when applying for a transfer;
the student has poor attendance;
the student has discipline or behavioral problems; or
payment has not been made prior to the start of instruction.
The principal will issue a warning letter to the parent/guardian if a pattern of poor student attendance or poor behavior develops. A copy of the warning letter will be given to the appropriate central office administrator. After a warning letter has been given, a principal may revoke a transfer at anytime during the school year when poor attendance or poor behavior continues to occur.
When the attending transfer student jeopardizes the health or safety of another student or any situation where a specific infraction of a major school policy has occurred, a warning letter is not necessary. When a specific behavioral violation has occurred, the Superintendent may revoke the transfer immediately.
Other relevant procedures:
Cash tuition transfers require the completion of SBA Form 515 by the New Albany-Floyd County Schools. Guardians will be notified of the required estimated tuition charge and accompanying policies before approval.
One-hundred percent (100%) of the tuition charge must be paid before the beginning of each semester. The NA-FC Schools does not accommodate installment payment plans. Failure to pay the tuition prior to the first day will result in the cancellation of the transfer.
Students who have legal settlement out-of-state do not receive credit for in-state tuition support and thus, can expect a tuition charge that is substantially higher than in-state transfers.
Transportation - Parents are responsible for all transportation for students who are granted a cash tuition transfer.
Refunds:
If a cash tuition transfer is revoked by the NA-FC Schools, the guardian will receive a pro-rata refund calculated on a per diem basis.
If the parent or guardian revokes or rescinds the transfer, no refund will be given for any reason once school or instruction has started.
