Students who choose to attend Commerce schools and don’t live in the city limits starting a year from now – the 2021 school year – are likely to have to pay tuition.
The amount of that tuition remains to be set. The Commerce Board of Education heard a report from superintendent Joy Tolbert last week that the district is running out of room.
Tolbert suggested the BOE set a tuition level for K-8 for the 2020-21 year. That would provide a year’s notice to parents, she said.
The policy Tolbert proposed and was approved by the BOE Monday “grandfathers” out-of-district students now attending Commerce schools as long as their attendance is “continuous.”
