TUITION / ADMISSION  OF 
NONRESIDENT  STUDENTS

For purposes of open enrollment a "nonresident pupil" means a student who resides in this state and who is enrolled in or is seeking enrollment in a school district other than the school district in which the student resides.  A student who is not a resident of the District but is a resident of New Mexico who meets the age and other requirements for open enrollment established by state law and District policy may be admitted to a school without payment of tuition.

Out-of-state school age persons may be admitted when there are sufficient school accommodations to provide for them and tuition may be charged.  The tuition shall not exceed the amount generated by the public school fund for school-age persons similarly situated within the district for the current year.  The amount of the tuition payable for the school year may be reduced by the District average ad valorem tax per pupil as determined by the ad valorem tax credit utilized in calculating state equalization guarantee distribution if the parent or guardian for the student pays an ad valorem property tax for school purposes within the District.
