Every school shall be free of tuition to all actual residents
between the ages of five and twenty-one years and to resident
veterans as defined in section 35.1, as many months after becoming
twenty-one years of age as they have spent in the armed forces of the
United States before they became twenty-one, provided, however, fees
may be charged covering instructional costs for a summer school or
drivers education program. The board of education may, in a hardship
case, exempt a student from payment of the above fees. Every person,
however, who shall attend any school after graduation from a
four-year course in an approved high school or its equivalent shall
be charged a sufficient tuition fee to cover the cost of the
instruction received by the person.
