On August 11, T.E.A. General Counsel Von Byer issued the Agency’s annual letter spelling out all you need to know about admission, attendance, enrollment records, tuition and all of that.  Very timely. Very helpful.  I always print this dude out and keep it handy, especially for the questions that come up at the beginning of the year.

It seems to me that this letter gets longer every year.  Not surprising. We keep adding laws, rules and exceptions to rules. This year the letter is 22 pages, with 89 footnotes.  We’re not even going to try to summarize. But we do recommend that you find it and print it. It’s good stuff.

And for you charter folks, you have your own letter, also issued August 11. Three pages, 11 footnotes.
