Type: Action
Subject: Approval of the 2022-23 Fee Schedule
Vision 2026:
Financial & Facilities Management 1
Continue to ensure a balanced budget that builds and maintains a fund balance that meets Board policy.
Policy:
Background During the 1994-1995 school year, the District instituted a basic fee schedule at all school levels that was put into effect as of the 1995-1996 school year. Annually, the administration reviews the fee schedule in preparation of the upcoming school year. A recommendation is then brought to the Board of Education for approval.

In March of 2010, the Board of Education was asked to approve a fee list for high school course consumables. In the past, the Board approved a blanket statement allowing for consumable fees to be assessed at cost. The Board was asked to approve a defined list, as these fees were to be assessed upon student registration for these courses, versus being collected in the classroom. In addition, the cost of workbooks was added to the list of consumables.
File Attachment:
Fee Schedule FY23.pdf
Summary: Attached to the report is the recommended fee schedule for the 2022-2023 school year. Administration has reviewed the current revenue impact of fees collected, and how they offset ongoing expenditures in the budget. The Business Office recommends that all existing fees remain constant, meaning no change, except for the following areas at the high school level:

-Increased the Graduation Fee from $30.00 to $35.00 to cover increased costs
-Added Lifetime and Fitness - Bowling (WWS Only) at $60.00 per semester
-Added Lifetime and Fitness - Golf (WWS Only) at $40.00 per semester
-Added Lifetime and Fitness - Adventure (WWS Only) at $55.00 per semester
-Added AP Art History course fee at $25.00 per semester

This information has been shared with the Board Finance Committee. As in the past, fees will be $10 less for those who pay before 7/1/2022

Administration is not recommending any changes to athletic fees, and consumable fees will still be charged at cost, as they have been in the past. Tuition based fees for ADK and Early Childhood will be set at the customary rate as well.

The high school course fee list is also included in this report. Proposed consumable fees are based on need; workbook fees are assigned at cost.
