CUMBERLAND COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION 32 SOUTH BEDFORD STREET CARLISLE, PA 17013 1-800-990-9108 or 717-249-3166 2774204.1 HARRISBURG AREA COMMUNITY COLLEGE One HACC Drive Harrisburg, PA 17110 Plaintiff, V. CARLISLE AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT 623 West Penn Street Carlisle, PA 17013 Defendant. IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA Civil Action -Law No. 0 -?-al cam. COMPLAINT AND NOW, comes Harrisburg Area Community College ("HACC"), through its attorneys, Barley Snyder LLC, filing this Complaint against Carlisle Area School District ("CASD") for tuition payments owed by CASD to HACC. 1. HACC is a Pennsylvania community college existing under the Community College Act of 1963, 24 P. S. § 19-1901-A, et seq., with its principal offices located at One HACC Drive, Harrisburg, PA 17110-2999. 2. CASD is a Pennsylvania school district existing under the Pennsylvania Public School Code, with its principal office located at 623 West Penn Street, Carlisle, Pa 17013-2239. 3. CASD is a "local sponsor" of HACC, as that term is used under § 19-1901-A of the Community College Act. 4. Generally, under the Community College Act and under the plan adopted by HACC's local sponsors, each local sponsor is obligated to pay to HACC a portion of the tuition of the residents of the local sponsor's school district who attend HACC. Specifically, under § 19-1913-A(a) of the Community College Act, CASD, as a local sponsor, is required to appropriate to HACC an amount at least equal to HACC's annual 2774204.1 operating costs less the student tuition as determined in Section 1908-A(a), less the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's payment as determined in Subsection (b)(1) of Section 19-1913-A. 6. Consistent with the requirements of the Community College Act, HACC's local sponsors submitted to the Pennsylvania State Board of Education a plan of financing which provides in pertinent part: "The plan of financing shall be from the general funds of the participating districts. Each participating district shall pay two-thirds of the normal tuition cost multiplied by the number of students from the sponsoring district." 7. Consistent with the Community College Act, students enrolled in HACC may be charged tuition up to one-third of HACC's operating costs. In effect, therefore, students are charged as tuition one-half of the local sponsor's share, resulting in a local sponsor, and specifically for purposes of this Complaint, CASD, being charged for one-third of the tuition (subject to certain "caps" agreed to between the local sponsor and HACC) of its resident students attending HACC. 8. HACC routinely invoices CASD for its share of the tuition costs for those residents of CASD who attend HACC, and the invoices from HACC identify the specific semester for which CASD owes tuition. 9. HACC invoices CASD only for those students who have produced a certificate of residency, establishing their residence within CASD for the relevant time period. The certificates of residency are issued by CASD, establishing residence within CASD for a particular fiscal year, and the certificate of residency remains valid for the entire fiscal year. 2774204.1 10. Attached hereto, made a part hereof and marked Exhibit 1 is a true and correct copy of HACC's invoice to CASD dated July 24, 2007, setting forth the tuition charges owed by CASD for its resident students attending HACC during the Second Summer Semester, 2007 and Fall Semester, 2007.

Admitted in part and denied in part. The local sponsor is not required to pay a portion of the resident's tuition unless the resident has qualified for a tuition subsidy by obtaining a Certificate of Residency from the School District and presenting it to the community college no later than time of tuition billing. 6.

NEW MATTER SAIDIS, DOWER ~ LINDSAY ~notn~snruw 26 West High Street Carlisle, PA 29. The answers to the averments in paragraph 1 through 28 are incorporated herein as if fully set forth herein. 30. Attached as Defendant's Exhibit 1 is a letter of May 16, 1977 from HACC to the CASD reviewing a resolution approved by the delegates at the meeting of HACC of April 6, 1977 stating in pertinent part that a Certificate of Residency will be valid only during the fiscal year (from July 1 -June 30) in which it was issued and that "no District will be assessed for it's one-third share unless a Certificate of Residency is on file with the community college at the time of billing." 31. Defendant's Exhibit 2 is an image from the HACC Website in the area of Certificate of Residency which reconfirms these principals as follows "1. Certificate of Residency will be valid only during the fiscal year (July 1- June 30) in which it is issued. 2. No District will be assessed for its one-third share unless a Certificate of Residency is on file with the community college at the time of billing." 32. Defendant's Exhibit 3 is an excerpt from the HACC Course Selection Guide which provides "students who wish to claim subsidy (when a portion of tuition is paid for by the sponsoring School District) from one of the 22 sponsoring School Districts of the College must obtain a Certificate of Residency and present it to either the Office of Student Accounts or Registration no later than the tuition payment deadline." 33. All but approximately $34,000 of the amount of which Plaintiff claims from Defendant is for students who failed to obtain a Certificate of Residency and to present it to HACC by the time of billing. As is abundantly clear from documentation obtained from Plaintiff, these students did not qualify for a subsidy of their tuition. Under the circumstances the District may not be assessed its one-third share retroactively, but only if the student qualified for the subsidy by obtaining and timely filing the Certificate of Residency. Plaintiff inappropriately granted a retroactive subsidy to these students, Plaintiffs proper remedy is to disallow the subsidy and to recover the tuition due from the individual students in question. 34. Defendant's Exhibit 1, the letter from Plaintiff of May 16, 1977, contains a SAIDIS, FTAWER ~ LINDSAY mmat~'-5..~ruw 26 West High Street Carlisle, PA provision entitled "Reciprocity° which provides in pertinent that a student who applies for admission to HACC will be requested to give his or her address as of July 1 of that fiscal year and that "if the address differs from his/her current address, the student will be referred to the sponsoring district as of his/her address on July 1." 35. Plaintiff consequently had the obligation to bring to Defendant's attention students whose addresses, as supplied to Plaintiff by the student, were clearly outside of the CASD, and in some cases outside of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 36. In these cases the information provided to obtain a Certificate of Residency was fraudulent, and the CASD is not liable to HACC for tuition subsidies for students who are not residents of the CASD. HACC failed in its obligation to refer these cases back to the CASD, for the appropriate voiding of the Certificate of Residency. 37. Included in Plaintiff's billing of Defendant for fiscal year 2008 were eight (8) students who had no address on file with HACC, four (4) students who had out of state addresses, including the District of Columbia, Montana, North Carolina and Virginia, and seven (7) students who provided addresses for cities or towns outside of the CASD boundaries, including Grantham, Hanover, Harrisburg, Manheim, New Cumberland, Mechanicsburg, Etters, Newville, Shermansdale and Youngsville. The Certificates of Residency obtained by these students were fraudulent, and the CASD is not liable for payment of subsidies for these non-residents. Plaintiff's proper remedy this is to assert claims against these individual students for full tuition. 36. HACC is aware of many of these fraudulent Certificates of Residency. SAIDIS, LINDS nr~ortmvs nnuw 26 West High Street Carlisle, PA Letters concerning several of these are set forth in Defendant's Exhibit 4, letters of April 29, 2009 advising HACC that an individual with an address of Newport, Pennsylvania was not a resident of CASD, that an individual with an address of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania was not a resident of CASD and that an individual with an address of Camp Hill, Pennsylvania was not a resident of CASD. In spite the fact that Plaintiff has been made aware of these fraudulent Certificates of Residency, Plaintiff persists in attempting to obtain an unjustified tuition subsidy from Defendant. THEREFORE, Defendant requests this Honorable Court dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint. SAIDIS, FLOWER & LINDSAY Ja es D. Flower, J ., Esquire orney ID No. 27742 6 W.

CARLISLE AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT, Defendant. IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA Civil Action -Law No. 10 - 201 Civil Term HARRISBURG AREA COMMUNITY COLLEGE'S REPLY TO NEW MATTER 29. Paragraphs 1 through 28 of the Complaint of Harrisburg Area Community College ("HACC") are incorporated herein by reference. 30. Admitted that Exhibit 1 to Defendant's Answer is a letter from HACC to the Carlisle Area School District ("CASD"). Denied as a conclusion of law that the letter establishes any rights or obligations of either HACC or CASD. Rather, the rights and obligations of the parties are as set forth in the Resolution of Apri16, 1977, adopted by the Delegates ("Resolution"), which is the best evidence of the rights and obligations of the parties. Generally, under the Resolution, a student's address as of July 1 determines the student's sponsoring school district. The residency requirements for issuance of a Certificate of Residency are established by the particular school district and not by HACC. A Certificate of Residency is valid for the entire fiscal year for which it is issued. Finally, HACC agreed not to invoice a school district for its one-third share unless a Certificate of Residency was on file with HACC at the time HACC invoiced the school district. 2827846.1 31. Denied. HACC believes that what CASD has referenced in Paragraph 31 of its New Matter is Exhibit 3 attached to CASD's Answer and New Matter and not Exhibit 2. Denied that Exhibit 3 is an image from HACC's website. The document identified as Exhibit 3 is actually from the Central Dauphin School District website, under an agreement with HACC, permitting Central Dauphin School District to utilize HACC's banner. Denied that any agreement or arrangements between HACC and Central Dauphin School District have any relevance to the rights and obligations between HACC and CASD. By way of further answer, denied as a conclusion of law that any website posting establishes any rights or obligations as between HACC and CASD. The parties' rights and obligations are as established under the Resolution identified in Paragraph 30 of this Reply. 32. Denied. HACC believes that what CASD has referenced in Paragraph 32 of its New Matter is Exhibit 2 and not Exhibit 3. Exhibit 2 appears to be a page from HACC's Course Selection Guide for 2008. Denied as a conclusion of law that the Course Selection Guide establishes any rights or obligations of the parties. Rather, the parties' rights and obligations are as set forth in the Resolution identified in Paragraph 30 of this Reply. Byway of further answer, the document attached as Exhibit 2 is a writing which speaks for itself. HACC denies any attempted interpretation or characterization of the writing offered by CASD. 33. Denied. Consistent with the Resolution, HACC did not invoice CASD unless it had on file for the student a Certificate of Residency issued by CASD. Under no circumstances was CASD assessed its one-third share "retroactively." Consistent with the Resolution, a student's residency was determined as of July 1 of the fiscal year. Once CASD issued a Certificate of Residency for a student as of July 1 of a fiscal year, CASD was invoiced for its share of the student's tuition during the entire fiscal year. All Certificates of Residency were 2827846.1 issued by CASD. If CASD determined that it had improperly issued a Certificate of Residency, CASD was still obligated to pay the tuition to HACC. CASD could then determine whether it had some recourse with respect to the student. 34. Paragraph 30 of this Reply is incorporated herein. The rights and obligations of the parties are as set forth in the Resolution, not in correspondence between the parties. A student's residency was determined as of July 1 of the fiscal year. The decision to issue the Certificate of Residency was that of the sponsoring school district, in this case CASD. 35. Denied as a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is required. The Resolution, which establishes the rights and obligations of HACC and CASD, neither expressly nor impliedly requires HACC to identify to CASD the addresses provided by the student to HACC. In fact, there are several reasons why a student may give an address to HACC different than the student's residence address as of July 1. For purposes of determining the sponsoring school district, the critical address is the student's address as of July 1 of the fiscal year. It is the school district's obligation, in this case, CASD's obligation, to determine whether or not to issue a Certificate of Residency based upon a student's address as of July 1 of a given fiscal year. 36. After reasonable investigation, HACC is without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the averment that students may have given false information to CASD in obtaining Certificates of Residency. However, it was CASD's obligation to perform due diligence to determinate whether or not a Certificate of Residency should be issued to a student, based upon the student's address as of July 1 of the fiscal year. In all instances relevant to this matter, the student requested a Certificate of Residency from CASD, CASD conducted whatever due diligence it deemed appropriate, and CASD issued a Certificate of Residency. HACC had no obligations to CASD with respect to these Certificates of 2827846.1 Residency. Furthermore, to the extent that CASD had not raised in the past any of the issues raised in this matter, CASD waived the right to assert the objections to the invoices at issue here. 37. After reasonable investigation, HACC is without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the averment that students may have given false information to CASD. To the extent CASD issued Certificates of Residency when it now asserts it should not have, the fault lies with CASD. Since each of the students identified in Paragraph 37 of CASD's New Matter presented HACC with Certificates of Residency issued by CASD, HACC properly invoiced CASD for CASD's share of the tuition. If CASD has now determined it should not have issued Certificates of Residency, CASD's remedy maybe to pursue claims against the students, not attempt to avoid its obligation to pay HACC. 38. [Incorrectly numbered in Defendant's New Matter as Paragraph 36.] Denied. Consistent with the Resolution, once CASD issued a Certificate of Residency, CASD was responsible for its share of the student's tuition for the entire fiscal year. If CASD determined that it had incorrectly issued a Certificate of Residency, CASD's remedy maybe to pursue a claim against the student, and not refuse to honor its obligation to pay HACC. Under the Resolution, neither CASD nor any school district has the authority to "revoke" a Certificate of Residency once issued. Furthermore, with respect to at least one of the students identified in the series of letters attached as Exhibit 4 to CASD's Answer and New Matter, CASD subsequently revoked its revocation.
