2021-2022 Nonresident Tuition for Toombs County Schools

A tuition fee will be charged for any student not living in the Toombs County School District. However, certain exemptions for payment will be made for out-of-system student(s) under the following conditions: 1. If a parent or legal guardian pays school tax in Toombs County, the student is exempt from tuition.

2. Children and/or grandchildren of full-time Toombs County System Employees are exempt from tuition. 3. If the student maintains a “B” yearly average and has satisfactory conduct and attendance (generally no more than two discipline referrals, and few, if any, unexcused absences per academic year), the student is exempt from tuition. Out-of-district tuition is currently set a $600.00 for the 2021-2022 school year and must be paid one week in advance of each semester. If a student’s account is in arrears, the student will be withdrawn from school on the eleventh day following the written notification of the arrearage. Out-of-district student’s tuition is determined by the student’s educational placement within the Toombs County School System. The tuition is based on the current local expenditure requirements necessary for completing the student’s educational plan. The Toombs County School District has limited space and resources available to serve out-of-system students. Therefore, the Board reserves the right to refuse enrollment to any out-of-system student whose admission will require the Toombs County School Board to provide additional classrooms, teachers, personnel, etc., not otherwise necessary, once its program or individual school capacity has been filled. The school administrator may refuse enrollment to any nonresident student who does not meet nonresident tuition exemptions. The Toombs County Board of Education does not discriminate on the basis of color, race, sex, religion, national origin, age, or handicap in its admission practices.
