City kids can (likely) attend County schools

Do you live in the City of Harrisonburg, but want your son or daughter to attend school in Rockingham County?

Are you considering moving from the County to the City, but still want your son or daughter to attend school in Rockingham County?

Rockingham County is continuing a program that will allow students that do not live in Rockingham County to apply to attend school in Rockingham County.  A few notes....

• You must go through the application process each year.
  
• You must pay a $3,000 per year tuition.
• Accepted students are sent to the school closest to their residence unless designated to another school due to limited space.
  

How many students, you might wonder, participated in this program last year?  Only five, it seems -- two from the City of Harrisonburg, and three from Augusta County.
