Rules indicate that “Technology center districts shall charge a tuition to any secondary student who does not reside in a technology center district. The fee for tuition shall be not less than twice the amount of the local cost of providing the program for the student.”

Reciprocity agreement guidelines apply to out-of-district secondary students who reside in another technology center district. Please call 405.377.3333 for more information.
