Enrollment priority for out-of-city students will be given to students and siblings of students who are currently enrolled in the City system if the application form was received on or before March 31. (Parents of students have already been notified.)
All students grades K-6 requesting enrollment for the first time and who do not have an older sibling currently enrolled in a city school may make application on, but not before, Monday, April 12, 7:30 a.m., at the Murfreesboro City Schools Administrative Offices, 2552 South Church Street.
Families living in Rutherford County will not be charged tuition; however, families living outside of Rutherford County must pay $2000 per year. For out-of-county families, a check, money order, or cash for the entire amount of tuition must be attached to each application.
ASSIGNMENT
School assignments for new out-of-city students will be determined by the Central Office staff based upon availability of spaces. Assignment notifications will be mailed before kindergarten registration so that kindergarten students will know their assigned school in time to register.
REFUNDED FEES
Out-of-county applicants who are offered but do not accept an assignment will be assessed a $20 application fee.
Out-of-county applicants who are not offered an assignment due to capacity limitations will be sent a full tuition refund.
Any out-of-county student accepting an assignment who later leaves the system will receive a pro-rated refund for any full attendance month he/she is not enrolled. A $20 non-refundable registration fee will be deducted before the pro-rated amount is determined.
The Murfreesboro City School system does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status in the provision of services, in programs or activities, or employment opportunities and benefits.
