At its meeting in June 2009, the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (Board) voted to authorize 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; provided that the Commissioner shall report to the Board on the school districts that have been so approved."
