Heading: Hearing to Fix Dollar Amount of Tuition

Text: In its memoranda submitted to this Court after the writ of certiorari was issued, Chariho requests this Court to remand the case for a hearing on the calculation of the amount of tuition owed because the board never specified a dollar amount as to what Chariho allegedly owed the [c]harter [s]chools because RIDE took no evidence on that issue. However, this issue was not included in the petitioner's petition for a writ of certiorari nor was it raised in its accompanying memorandum in support of the petition. [A]s we have previously held, we will not consider any issue that is not included in a petitioner's initial petition for issuance of a writ of certiorari. Town of Burrillville v. Rhode Island State Labor Relation Board, 921 A.2d 113, 119 (R.I.2007) (citing Cadillac Lounge, LLC v. City of Providence, 913 A.2d 1039, 1042-43 (R.I.2007)). Therefore, we decline to address Chariho's argument that it is entitled to a hearing on the issue of calculating a specific dollar amount of tuition owed.
