CHIDLREN WITH

DISABILITIES,

However, if a preschool child with a disability who is a resident of

one district receives special education from another district (not

through open enrollment but under an agreement between the

districts), the district providing the education may require the child's

district of residence to pay the tuition of the district providing the

education as calculated in accordance with existing law (rather than

half of that amount).

TUITION, OUT OF

STATE

When neither the child nor parent resides in Ohio and tuition is required,

the amount is equal to the tuition rate computed under ORC 3317.08

plus the amount of state education aid amount in state education aid, as

defined in section

3317.02.

TUITION WAIVERS

A district must admit the grandchild of a grandparent who is a legal

resident of the district if the grandparent provides evidence either of a

power of attorney or a caretaker authorization affidavit.

It may waive tuition for children or full-time employees who wish to have

their children attend the district that employs them. This includes the

children of employees of an educational service center if the school

district is where the parent’s job is primarily located.

It must waive tuition for a child living with a person other than the parent

because the parent is on active duty if: 1) the person has been

appointed through a military power of attorney as the parent’s agent for

the care, control, and custody of the child; and 2) the military power of

attorney or similar document includes the authority to enroll the child in

school. The tuition waiver continues until the end of the school year in

which the military power of attorney (or comparable document) expires.

A district must waive tuition for the child of a parent of a member of the

national guard or a reserve unit called to active duty. The child may

continue to attend school in the district in which the parent lived when

called to active duty so long as the parent continues to be a legal

resident of the district and regardless of where the child lives as a result

of the parent’s assignment. However, the district of attendance is not

responsible for providing transportation if the child lives outside of the

district.

It must waive tuition for a homeless child in either the “school of origin” or

the school that serves the geographic area in which the child’s shelter is

located.
