No person is charged tuition for admission or enrollment in the King William County Public Schools, whether on a full-time or part-time basis, who is eligible for admission under Policies JEC School Admission or JECA Admission of Homeless Children.

The following category(ies) of students are eligible for consideration for admission: non-resident students and students of full-time employees who reside outside King William County (stepchildren, natural or adopted children who actually reside in the home of the employee) who require educational services that can be provided by the staff of the King William County School Board in its existing facilities and utilizing its existing programs and services, and comply with the Code of Student Conduct. Eligibility for consideration does not signify acceptance of the admission application of a student. Each application for admission will be considered on an individual basis. The residency of persons in the above categories who reside in housing or temporary shelter, or on property located in multiple jurisdictions, shall be determined in the manner set forth in Policy JEC School Admission.

Foreign students in an J-1 immigration status or who obtain J-1 student visas are not admitted in the division’s elementary schools or publicly funded adult education programs. Such students may be admitted, for a period up to twelve months, in the division’s secondary schools only if they pre-pay the full, unsubsidized per capita cost of the education.
