503.11 Fines-Fee-Charges

FINES-FEE-CHARGES
 
The board believes students should respect school district property and assist in its preservation for future use by others.  Students may be assessed fines, charges, or fees for textbooks, school supplies, eye protective devices, ear protective devices, summer school courses, driver education, discretionary transportation, student planners, cleaning and wear and tear of band/choir uniforms, musical instrument rental, activity tickets, software, overdue books/materials, damages to property.
 
The superintendent shall inform the board of the dollar amount to be charged to students or others for fines, charges, or fees annually.  Parents of students meeting specific financial eligibility standards will be eligible for a waiver of student fees or a reduction of student fees based upon the request of the parent.  It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent, in conjunction with the principal, to develop administrative regulations regarding this policy.
