158.120 Nonresident pupils -- Tuition. (1) Any board of education may charge a reasonable tuition fee per month for each child attending its schools whose parent, guardian, or other legal custodian is not a <br>bona fide resident of the district. Any controversy as to the fee shall be submitted to <br>the Kentucky Board of Education for final settlement. The fee shall be paid by the <br>board of education of the school district in which the pupil resides, except in cases <br>where the board makes provision for the child's education within his district. If a <br>board of education is required to pay a pupil's tuition fee, the pupil shall be admitted <br>to a school only upon proper certificate of the board of education of the district in <br>which he resides. (2) When it appears to the board of education of any school district that it is convenient for a pupil of any grade residing in that district to attend an approved public school <br>in another district, the board of education may enter into a tuition contract with the <br>public school authorities of the other school district for that purpose, but before a <br>contract is entered into with public school authorities in another state the school <br>shall have been approved by the state school authorities of that state through the <br>grades in which the pupil belongs. When a district undertakes, under operation of a <br>tuition contract or of law, to provide in its school for pupils residing in another <br>district, the district of their residence shall share the total cost of the school, <br>including transportation when furnished at public expense, in proportion to the <br>number of pupils or in accordance with contract agreement between the two (2) <br>boards.
