How is tuition assessed in the context of the relocation category of student reassignment?

Families who move out of Howard County on or after the first day of the current school year can request student reassignment with the assessment of tuition. 

Tuition is assessed based on the following:

  • If the student becomes a nonresident prior to the fourth marking period, the student will be allowed to remain for the duration of that school year and tuition will be assessed.
  • If the student becomes a nonresident during the fourth marking period, the student may attend for the rest of that school year tuition free.
  • For a student who becomes a nonresident after achieving junior status, the student will be allowed upon request to remain at the student’s current school through graduation upon payment of tuition.

Tuition is assessed per student from the date the family moved out of Howard County to the end of the current school year (unless they moved during the 4th quarter of the current school year).
