The Massachusetts Board of Elementary and Secondary Education
Non-Operating/Tuition School Districts
In 2009, the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education authorized the Commissioner, in accordance with General Laws c. 15, § 1F, paragraph 3, to act on behalf of the Board in approving the annual requests submitted by the superintendents and school committees of towns that do not operate their own schools and seek to tuition their students to public schools in another town, per General Laws c. 71, §§ 1, 4 and 6.
Under this authority, I have approved the following tuition arrangements for the 2017-2018 school year:
