Kokomo Schools Tuition-Free Policy

The quality and diverse educational opportunities of Kokomo-Center Schools is now Tuition Free to All students if enrolled by September 17, 2010. We encourage you to take the time visit our schools because Kokomo-Center Schools provides a quality educational experience.

The following Tuition Free policy has been adopted by the Kokomo-Center Board of School Trustees: “The Board will educate – Tuition Free – those students who have legal settlement in the corporation or Non-Residents who meet enrollment requirements and enroll prior to the official ADM (Average Daily Membership) count day (Sept. 17, 2010) established by the State of Indiana.”

During these enrollment sessions July 27-29, interested parents and guardians of prospective students are invited to tour our schools. Kokomo-Center Schools enrollment sessions are: Tuesday, July 27, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Wednesday, July 28, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Thursday, July 29, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.. For the benefit of your child, all K-8 students are encouraged to enroll before the first day of school. Parents should enroll at their child’s attendance area school.

At K-8 enrollment, Kokomo-Center parents will be asked to review or complete a Registration Report for their children and provide proof of residency. For residence verification, parents need 2 (two) documents, which must include the name of the occupant and the street address. Among the items that fulfill this requirement include, but are not limited to: driver’s license, utility bills, rental agreement, and other documents that verify the parent’s residence.

Elementary and middle school parents should be aware that if they do not enroll their K-8 child July 27-28-29, and that child is eligible for Transportation services, corporation officials will not be able to provide busing for that child during the first 7 to 10 days of the school year. The first day of school for students is Thursday, August 12.

Students in grades 9-12, who attended and completed the 2009-2010 school year in Kokomo-Center Schools, are already enrolled. Parents of other students who are interested in enrolling their children at Kokomo High School are asked to call the high school guidance office (455-8040) for an appointment after Tuesday, August 3, 2010. High school students enrolling for the first time at KHS must be accompanied by a parent at the time of enrollment. No student will be enrolled without a complete record of immunization.

Orientation sessions for All students interested in attending Kokomo High School and those new students already enrolled will be conducted Wednesday, August 4, from 9 to 11 a.m. and 1 to 3 p.m., in the KHS auditorium. Students will have an opportunity to meet administrators and counselors, as well as tour the KHS facility, including our technology-rich classrooms, our athletic facilities, and our Kokomo Area Career Center.
