May a district allow nonresident employees’ children to attend and be counted as resident students?
• A school district may allow the children of nonresident teachers and regular employees to attend and be counted as resident students for purposes of receiving state aid. A teacher may not be charged tuition in the district where the teacher’s child attends school. (An exception exists in subsection 5 in section 167.151, RSMo. that allows Lee’s Summit School District to charge its nonresident teachers and regular employees tuition.) • School districts have the option of allowing the children of nonresident regular support staff to attend without having to pay tuition. • Once the nonresident teacher or regular employee is no longer employed with the district, the student is no longer eligible to be counted as a resident student.
