				the school district when he or she is the child of a parent or guardian whose
				domicile is located within the school district.
i. When a student's parents or guardians are
				domiciled within different school districts and there is no court order or
				written agreement between the parents designating the school district of
				attendance, the student's domicile is the school district of the parent or
				guardian with whom the student lives for the majority of the school year. This
				subparagraph shall apply regardless of which parent has legal
				custody.
ii. When a student's
				physical custody is shared on an equal-time, alternating week/month or other
				similar basis so the student is not living with one parent or guardian for a
				majority of the school year and there is no court order or written agreement
				between the parents designating the school district of attendance, the
				student's domicile is the present domicile of the parent or guardian with whom
				the student resided on the last school day prior to the October 16 preceding
				the application date.
(1) When a student
				resided with both parents or guardians, or with neither parent or guardian, on
				the last school day prior to the preceding October 16, the student's domicile
				is that of the parent or guardian with whom the parents or guardians indicate
				the student will be residing on the last school day prior to the ensuing
				October 16. When the parents or guardians do not designate or cannot agree upon
				the student's likely residence as of that date, or if on that date the student
				is not residing with the parent or guardian previously indicated, the student
				shall attend school in the school district of domicile of the parent or
				guardian with whom the student actually lives as of the last school day prior
				to October 16.
(2) When the
				domicile of a student with disabilities as defined in N.J.A.C. 6A:14, Special
				Education, cannot be determined pursuant to this section, nothing in this
				section shall preclude an equitable determination of shared responsibility for
				the cost of the student's out-of-district placement.
iii. When a student is living with a person
				other than a parent or guardian, nothing in this section is intended to limit
				the student's right to attend school in the parent or guardian's school
				district of domicile pursuant to this chapter.
iv. No school district shall be required to
				provide transportation for a student who resides outside the school district
				for all or part of the school year unless transportation is based upon the home
				of the parent or guardian domiciled within the school district or otherwise
				required by law.

				does not pay the tuition assessment, the district board of education may
				petition the Commissioner pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:3 for an order assessing
				tuition, enforceable in accordance with

				request of the district board of education pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:3-12, on the
				judgment docket of the Superior Court, Law Division.
New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 6A - EDUCATION › Chapter 22 - STUDENT RESIDENCY › Subchapter 6 - ASSESSMENT AND CALCULATION OF TUITION › Section 6A:22-6.2 - Assessment of tuition where appeal is filed

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) If an
				appeal to the Commissioner is filed by the parent, guardian, adult student, or
				school district resident keeping an "affidavit" student and the petitioner does
				not sustain the burden of demonstrating the student's right to attend the
				school district, or the petitioner withdraws the appeal, fails to prosecute, or
				abandons the appeal by any means other than settlement agreeing to waive or
				reduce tuition, the Commissioner may assess tuition for the period during which
				the hearing and decision on appeal were pending, and for up to one year of a
				student's ineligible attendance in a school district prior to the appeal's
				filing and including the 21-day period to file an appeal.
1. Upon the Commissioner's finding that an
				appeal has been abandoned, the district board of education may remove the
				student from school and seek tuition for up to one year of ineligible
				attendance pursuant to
				6A:22-6.1(a) 
				plus the period of ineligible attendance after the appeal was filed. If the
				record of the appeal includes a calculation reflecting the tuition rate(s) for
				the year(s) at issue, the per diem tuition rate for the current year and the
				date on which the student's ineligible attendance began, the Commissioner may
				order payment of tuition as part of his or her decision. In doing so, the
				Commissioner shall consider whether the ineligible attendance was due to a
				school district's error. If the record does not include such a calculation and
				the district board of education has filed a counterclaim for tuition, the
				counterclaim shall proceed to a hearing notwithstanding that the petition has
				been abandoned.
2. An order of the
				Commissioner assessing tuition is enforceable through recording, upon request
				of the district board of education pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:3-12, on the
				judgment docket of the Superior Court, Law Division, in accordance with
				2A:58-10.

				applicable grade/program category and consistent with the provisions of
				6A:23A-17.1. The individual
				student's record of daily attendance shall not affect the
				calculation.
(b) Nothing in this
				chapter shall preclude an equitable determination by the district board of
				education or the Commissioner that tuition shall not be assessed for all or
				part of any period of a student's ineligible attendance in the school district
				when the particular circumstances of a matter so warrant. In making the
				determination, the district board of education or Commissioner shall consider
				whether the ineligible attendance was due to a school district's
