ADMISSION AND PLACEMENT OF STUDENTS
Any child between the ages of 5 and 21 is entitled to attend school in the District if the
child is a resident of or has a legal transfer to the District.
The District’s four-year-old classes shall be free to each District resident whose fourth
birthday falls on or before September 1.
The District’s kindergarten classes shall be free to each District resident whose fifth
birthday falls on or before September 1.
The District’s first grade classes shall be free to each District resident whose sixth
birthday falls on or before September 1.
Tuition-Based Admission
Children who do not meet residency requirements and are unable to obtain a transfer
may be admitted on a full-tuition basis to the extent that space is available and with the approval
of the Superintendent or designee. The District will not consider tuition-based admission for
underage students.
Tuition rates for non-resident students shall be established and approved by the Board
of Education each year on the basis of total costs. Tuition rates shall be calculated at not less
than the per capita cost of education for a similar period in the District during the preceding
year. Such tuition shall be paid in advance, yearly or by semester, before attendance is
permitted to begin.
Placement
Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the District will place students in a grade
level or academic area in accordance with an evaluation of any documentation provided, any
examination or other results demonstrating student progress and consideration of social,
emotional and physical development and chronological age.
Students entering from non-accredited schools and home-schooled students shall be
placed according to their level of mastery of the standards set forth by the State of Oklahoma as
demonstrated on a locally administered exam.
