Tuition payments and transportation

As last minute plans for a new school year continues, the Joel E Barber School District tuition rate has been set for the 2023-2024 school year. Superintendent Rachelle Jennings said this is the tuition rate that they pay to Lebanon R3 and what is paid to C-5…..

Jennings said that in addition to Lebanon R-3 and Laclede County R-1, the only school districts that provide transportation for Joel E Barber students, parents can opt to have their student attend high school in another district….

Jennings said that C-5 District is required to pay the tuition rate of that district which in some cases, like at Camdenton, may be higher than Lebanon or Conway. At a special board meeting in June, the School Board approved a Camdenton R-3 tuition payment for one student in the amount of $10-thousand-755-dollars.
