(1) Said student is in good standing with the school previously attended, having demonstrated consistently good attendance, satisfactory discipline, and the readiness/qualifications for the grade/program in which he/she is seeking enrollment. A student who has withdrawn from previously attended school to avoid any form of disciplinary action may not enroll in the City Schools of Decatur. A student withdrawing for poor attendance or unsatisfactory academic performance may not enroll in City Schools of Decatur.
(2) The board of education reserves the right to establish enrollment limits in all grades, classes, and/or programs.
(3) The admission of the said student will not require the City Schools of Decatur to hire additional staff or contract for any additional services.

Tuition for students in preK-12 will be $569 x 10 months.
All applications for new tuition students are not considered complete without copies of transcript(s)/report card(s), attendance record(s) and discipline record(s) from all previous schools before application can be processed. Narrative reports are acceptable for any schools the child attended that do not issue grades.
