State Superintendent Blair Rules on Free High School Tuition
Rockford June 29. State Superintendent Blair interprets the high school tuition law. Tuition is paid by the home district’ s school board from district funds and must not exceed the chosen high school' s per capita cost. The poverty clause is invalid. The parent may choose the high school with home district board consent, provided the school offers four years. consent is ministerial, not discretionary. The eighth grade graduates may attend a high school in a neighboring district with tuition paid by their home district if no local high school exists. The clause about unable to pay is invalid. directors must cover tuition if funds exist, and the chosen school should admit non-residents if feasible without harming residents. F. G. Blair Supt. Public Instruction.
