The Johnson City School Board voted to designate Science Hill High School a tuition school for the 2026–27 school year after the superintendent presented the recommendation and supporting memorandum.
"Our recommendation is, first just for Science Hill to be a tuition school for 2627," the superintendent said, explaining the district wants to give potential out‑of‑district students time to decide before they commit to another school. Board discussion clarified that tuition rates would be set during the district’s budget meeting, with a formal recommendation anticipated in May.
A board member moved to approve the recommendation and the motion passed by voice vote. One board member asked to review tuition details at the budget meeting; administration confirmed rates will be set in April with final recommendations in May.
