D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 5, r. 5-A5013
Adult non-resident students or the parents, guardians, custodians or other primary caregiver of a minor non-resident student attending a District funded school shall be subject to and responsible for non-resident tuition payments consistent with this chapter.
Non-resident tuition payments shall be made payable to "D.C. Treasurer" and delivered to OSSE in a timely manner in accordance with OSSE's tuition collection process or policy, or the applicable tuition payment agreement if one exists. OSSE shall provide the responsible individual with confirmation that it has received the non-resident tuition payments.
If the tuition payment of a current non-resident student who has been approved to attend a District public school is delinquent for a period of ninety (90) days or more, OSSE may exclude the non-resident student from attending a District public school based on non-payment.
In the event a District public school has already received Uniform Per Student Funding Formula ("UPSFF") funding for a student found to be a non-resident, the District may withhold a portion of the school's subsequent funding, equal to the amount of UPSFF funding previously distributed to the LEA for the student found to be a non-resident.
All agreements regarding the tuition payment for the non-resident student shall be in writing.
A LEA shall maintain a tuition payment agreement and a written record of tuition payments, if available, in a student's permanent file, which shall be made available during the annual enrollment audit and upon request by OSSE, or another government agency, for each non-resident student.
A matter involving tuition payments for non-residents may be referred by OSSE to the Office of the Attorney General for collection of tuition payments.
