The superintendent calculated non-resident students had generated $291,193 of the county's $6,708,570 in state funding, and the loss of the approximately 60 non-resident students could result in the loss of two faculty. Even though the school board "proposed that families of non-resident students pay a fee of $588", the majority of citizens at the June meeting opposed that tuition recommendation. The school board voted to accept an application process and an attendance policy, not including a tuition fee, for non-resident students. The following year, enrollment of non-resident students rose from 57 to approximately 110 students, resulting in additional state revenues to RCPS of $276,638.
