Base Housing Permission Waiver
If you are unable to secure base housing due to “non-availability”, and set-up permanent residence off the installation of Keesler AFB, Biloxi School District (BSD) will allow your child/children to attend the BSD (regardless of location), and waive any out-of-district tuition fee(s) associated with the transfer. This waiver will only apply during your first permanent residence duration. You must provide transportation to, and from BSD. This opportunity only applies during your initial stop at the KAFB housing office.
