Principals and the principals’ designees shall not have the authority to enroll a non-resident student, but will refer the student, parents/legal guardians to the director of student services to determine the student’s eligibility to be enrolled.
If it is determined by the director of student services that the student does not have a right to enroll without tuition being paid, the director of student services will make a determination of whether to permit the student to be enrolled. If the student is a resident of a Nebraska school district and enrollment is approved, a contract shall be entered into with the school district in which the student is a resident and tuition shall be collected pursuant to the contract. If the student is a resident of another state and enrollment is approved, tuition shall be paid prior to enrollment at a rate determined by the Lincoln Board of Education. The tuition will be paid in the Office of Business Affairs.
If the request to enroll is approved by the director of student services, the student, parent/legal guardian and the receiving school will be notified and the student may register immediately.
If the request to enroll is denied by the director of student services, the student, parent/legal guardian may request a review of the ruling by the Associate Superintendent for Educational Services. This review request must be in writing and made within five school days of the receipt of the ruling by the director of student services.
