Court rules schools cannot charge exit tuitions
The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled that schools may bill outsiders a transfer tuition but cannot levy exit fees on their own students for transferring elsewhere. The decision, upholding a 1992 suit by Denise Streeter, targets Greene County’s $200 exit tuition and emphasizes constitutional limits on transfer charges. The ruling notes the difficulty for small districts yet enforces strict statutory interpretation.
