Non-Resident Students
Students residing with their parent or legal guardian outside of the Brewton City School attendance zone may submit a written application to the Principal for enrollment in the Brewton City School District. Approval of such enrollment will be based on the following:
- Whether or not the school system currently has an instructional program that will meet the educational, physical, and emotional needs of the student;
- The ability to accommodate the applicant without placing undue financial burden on the school system;
- Availability of space, at the grade level and school;
- Acceptable previous attendance as evidenced by the attendance record;
- Acceptable behavior as evidenced by the discipline record;
- Acceptable academic performance as evidenced by the academic record.
Any failure to comply with the rules and regulations of Brewton City Schools may be cause for the immediate revocation of enrollment in Brewton City Schools. Additionally, the Superintendent has the right to revoke the enrollment of non-resident students based on any of the following conditions:
- Inappropriate behavior or poor disciplinary record;
- Excessive tardiness to school or poor school attendance record;
- Unsatisfactory academic performance;
- Delinquent tuition or other fees
- Any other good or sufficient reason deemed by administration.
Brewton City Schools will not provide transportation services to non-resident students.
Brewton City Schools reserves the right to deny non-resident student admission without cause or explanation. The authority to deny or revoke admission is vested solely in the Superintendent, and there is no right to challenge or appeal the decision of the Superintendent.
Students applying for enrollment are considered on an individual basis. The enrollment of a student does not assure the enrollment of a sibling. Neither does the revocation of a student’s enrollment affect the status of a sibling.
Payment of Fees by Non-resident Students
The non-refundable fees for non-resident students is $125 per family per year. Fees must be paid in full prior to enrollment. In subsequent years, failure to pay fees prior to the beginning of the school year will cause the student(s) to be withdrawn from Brewton City Schools.
If during the school year it becomes evident that a student actually resides outside the Brewton City School zone, fees will become due immediately or the student will be withdrawn.
