  1                                        AN ACT
  2    RELATING TO RATES OF TUITION FOR ATTENDANCE IN  A  SCHOOL  DISTRICT;  AMENDING
  3        SECTION  33-1405,  IDAHO  CODE,  TO  AUTHORIZE  A SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF
  4        TRUSTEES TO APPLY FOR AN EXEMPTION TO ANY PORTION OF A TUITION RATE CALCU-
  5        LATED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
                                                                        
  6    Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
                                                                        
  7        SECTION 1.  That Section 33-1405, Idaho Code, be, and the same  is  hereby
  8    amended to read as follows:
                                                                        
  9        33-1405.  RATES  OF  TUITION -- TUITION CERTIFICATES. The state department
 10    of education shall prepare and distribute all necessary forms; and shall issue
 11    to each school district, annually, a tuition certificate bearing a serial num-
 12    ber, which certificate shall authorize the receiving district to charge and to
 13    bill for the tuition of its nonresident pupils  where  tuition  has  not  been
 14    waived.
 15        In  determining  tuition  rates  to be charged by any creditor school dis-
 16    trict, the state department  of  education  shall  compute  the  sum  of  that
 17    district's  maintenance  and  operation  costs, depreciation on its buildings,
 18    equipment, and other property, and the interest, if any paid by it  on  bonded
 19    debt or registered warrants. The said state department of education shall then
 20    compute what proportion of the sum of said costs, depreciation and interest is
 21    allocable to elementary schools, and what proportion is allocable to secondary
 22    schools, in the district. The proportion allocable to elementary schools shall
 23    then  be  divided by the average daily attendance of elementary school pupils,
 24    and the proportion allocable to secondary schools  shall  be  divided  by  the
 25    average  daily attendance of secondary school pupils, in the district, and the
 26    amount so determined shall be the gross per-pupil cost, elementary or  second-
 27    ary,  as  the case may be. The net per-pupil cost shall be the gross per-pupil
 28    cost less the per-pupil apportionment to the district of any  foundation  pro-
 29    gram funds.
 30        Computations  of  tuition  rates  shall be made as of the school year next
 31    preceding the year for which tuition charges are determined and made.
 32        Charges for tuition made by any creditor school district shall be its  net
 33    per-pupil  cost,  as hereinabove defined; except that its gross per-pupil cost
 34    shall be charged where any pupil has transferred to the creditor  district  by
 35    transfer  other  than  one prescribed by section 33-1403, Idaho Code, or where
 36    the home district of any pupil attending school in the  creditor  district  is
 37    without the state of Idaho.
 38        The  board  of trustees of a school district may request a waiver from the
 39    state board of education of any portion of the tuition rate determined  pursu-
 40    ant  to  this  section. A waiver request must be made for each individual stu-
 41    dent, and may be requested for up to four  (4) years, subject to annual review
 42    by the local board of trustees. Waivers must be requested before  April  1  of
 43    the year prior to the operative date.
                                                                        
                                           2
                                                                        
  1        SECTION  2.  An  emergency  existing  therefor,  which emergency is hereby
  2    declared to exist, this act shall be in full force and effect on and after its
  3    passage and approval.
