The Tallapoosa County Board of Education voted to approve the new out-of-district policy recommended by Superintendent Ray Porter Monday, which sets a $500 per semester tuition fee, or $750 per semester for families enrolling more than one child.

However, Porter said he wanted to extend that opportunity to any student within commuting distance.https://www.alexcityoutlook.com/news/i-think-tallapoosa-county-has-a-superior-product-boe-hopes-to-recruit-non-resident-students/article_cd30c730-fa31-11eb-840a-73802999926e.html#tncms-source=login
