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.

Summary:
|
Attached to the report is the recommended fee schedule for the 2024-2025 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 area:
- An addition of a fee for the Illustrative Math workbook for Grades K-8 at a cost of $27.00.
Previously, during the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school year, the cost of the Illustrative Math workbooks were purchased using ESSER Grant funds that the district received. The ESSER Grant is finished at the conclusion of the 2023-2024 school year and the cost of the Illustrative Math workbooks are now included with the 2024-2025 Fee Schedule.
Following past practice, registration fees in Grades K-12 will be $10 less for those who pay before 7/1/2024.
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 the Early Childhood program at Jefferson 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.
