Resolution 2122R-012 - as adopted.pdf
Background: On September 30, 2021, the Board took action to adopt Resolution 2122R-012. This resolution states that during the 2021-22 school year, the Board shall consider the logistics and feasibility of waiving all fees charged to students, including those for student activities (towels, swimsuits, school newspaper, assembly programs, locks for gym locker, etc.), supplementary subject-area materials, club activities, graduation ceremonies (caps and gowns) and athletic participation, instrument rental or music lessons, driver education and work permits.

The Administration has begun research into this topic. This has included a survey to schools for each to identify fees they may be charging. We have also had a meeting with principals and departments. In addition, we have begun analysis of fees entered into the financial system.

Next steps include refining the data collected in both the school survey and fee data. In addition, we will have supplementary meetings with departments and principals.
