Special – This applies in cases where a family’s move into a new school district has not yet occurred but it is imminent and the family desires their student to begin attending the new district before residency is established. If the new school district’s facilities are adequate, the new school district may offer 9-week and 18-week special tuition.
Special Tuition - Under Wis. Stat. § 121.81(2), a pupil whose parent is a resident of this state, but not a resident of the school district, may file with the school board of the district a written application for enrollment in the school district. The parent’s application must be accompanied by a written declaration of the parent that the parent will establish residence in the school district by a specified time. Receipt of the application can occur at any time during the school year.
