To:
Members of the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education
From:
Mitchell D. Chester, Ed.D., Commissioner
Date:
June 15, 2012

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 2012-2013 school year:

As a point of interest, the Town of Granville joined the Southwick Tolland K-12 Regional School District and no longer tuitions its students as of school year 2012-2013.
