Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Kingston Hill Academy and the Compass School v. Chariho Regional School District

June 6, 20112011 R.I. LEXIS 68

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Board of Regents' decision, holding that the severance of Chariho's affirmative defense as a counterclaim was proper, that the Board correctly interpreted the statute to require tuition payments based on actual enrollment, and that the Commissioner did not err by not providing a hearing on the exact tuition amount because the issue was not raised in the petition.
