SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Admission to and tuition for public schools. Clarifies that, consistent with the state constitutional mandate for a system of free public schools, no person may be charged tuition for admission or enrollment in Virginia public schools, whether on a full- or part-time basis, who meets the various residency criteria set forth in § 22.1-3. This measure would include the enrollment of public and nonpublic school students in Governor’s Schools, and the enrollment of resident school-age persons in general education development (GED) and alternative programs. However, school boards may charge tuition for enrollment in summer programs (exclusive of required remediation) or in local initiatives or programs not required by the Standards of Quality or the Standards of Accreditation and the part-time enrollment of nonpublic school students in other public schools.
