The rate of tuition paid per year to the receiving school district may not be less than the per student equivalent as defined in § 13-13-10.1 for that school fiscal year and is not subject to the tuition limitation in § 13-28A-2.1.

If the parent or guardian of a student assigned to a school district in a bordering state pursuant to this section disapproves of the student's assignment, the school board shall assign that student to an attendance center within the district. However, notwithstanding any other provision of law, the school district is not required to provide transportation to that student.
