Enrollment
Students shall be enrolled tuition free in the Prince George’s Public County Schools provided that the student resides with at least one parent, court-appointed guardian or relative providing informal kinship care who is a bona fide resident of the County.
Nonresident students shall not be enrolled in any public school of the County without authorization from the Chief Executive Officer or designee. The Board of Education authorizes the Chief Executive Officer to promulgate procedures consistent with this policy. Upon application, students will be conditionally enrolled for a period of up to 30 days, pending verification of all required documents.+
Tuition Fees:
Tuition rates for nonresident students shall be established by the Board of Education. Such rates shall be adjusted annually upon recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer.
Parent(s) or guardian(s) of all nonresident students will be required to pay the full tuition rate for one school year. The tuition fee is prorated on a daily basis (180 school days) and adjusted accordingly for the period of enrollment for any student enrolled for less than one school year.
The tuition rate for students whose parent(s) or guardian(s) are residents of another state or country is the total cost of educating a student based on the current year’s estimated expenditures and the estimated enrollment for the year, adjusted for student specific program requirements.
The tuition rate for students whose parent(s) or guardian(s) are residents of Maryland, but not Prince George’s County, is the County cost of educating a student based on the estimated expenditures and the estimated enrollment for that year, adjusted for student specific program requirements.
Waiver of Tuition Fees:
The Chief Executive Officer shall establish a Committee on Informal Kinship Care/Tuition Waivers. The Committee shall be authorized to grant waivers of tuition consistent with this policy and implementing administrative procedures.
Administrative Procedures:
The Chief Executive Officer shall promulgate procedures in accordance with this policy.
