How much does veterinary school cost?

Does it cost money to attend a public school out-of-district, and if so, how much?

• I am a sophomore in high school. Next school year, I would like to attend a high school that is out-of-district. I have many reasons for wanting to do so, including classes that I need that are not offered by my home district, more programs that are not offered by my home district, and because I want to be with my friends. It is also for my safety; I have had really bad experiences at my home district, to put it shortly. I am also deaf, and I need certain accommodations in school, many of which my home district cannot and refuses not to provide to me, but this out-of-district high school can provide me the accommodations that I need. I currently go to a cyber school. I was pulled out of my home district for my freshman and sophomore years of high school. But now I would like to attend this out-of-district high school for my junior and senior years of high school. I have been told that it costs a lot of money to go to a school that is not in your home district. About how much, roughly, does this cost? Someone that I've talked to has told me $500, another told $2,000, and another told me $5,000+ per school year. The money is the only real issue that is standing in my way of attending this school. (It's not full at all; they just built a brand new, very large high school about two years ago. There is room for more students.) I cannot find the data that I am looking for online. If it matters, I live in Pennsylvania. There is one full school district between my home district and the district that I want to attend. Will this be a problem, or can I attend any district? Thank you!

• Answer:

  there are different possibilities.. if your district offers school choice and the out of district school is one of the choice schools--it will be free for you. if you have an IEP that places you in the out of district school, it is free for you. if you get NO accommodations--it costs about $10,000..some areas are a little less--some are a little more but since you need accommodations--it will cost more...normally these accommodations would be paid for by your district--but since you would be out of district--they do not have to pay extra costs.. the reason being--in your district--your family pays taxes to support the school...out of district other people pay for it and have no legal obligation to financially support your education. and you need to be accepted into that school...sometimes districts will not take any students at all that do not live in their district... your best bet is to get an IEP.....google parental rights in special education you will have to make the case that your district cannot provide an APPROPRIATE education, but the other school can...
