Approval or Denial
You will receive a letter via email when your child's request for summer school tuition was approved or declined If approved, you must provide the approval letter to your school district when you register your child for summer school. Without the approval letter, the district may charge you for the cost of tuition. If your district is registering for summer school online, please direct any registration questions to your district. Gill may only cover a portion of the tuition needed. The tuition approval limit for 2025 is two half-credits per student. Be prepared to pay your guardian contribution when you register for summer school.
Gill is not responsible for the expense of any particular service or item unless we have specifically pre-approved payment for that service or item, for a specific date, after agreement with the provider/vendor to a specific discounted amount.
