Board approves 2026–27 high‑school and middle‑school fee schedules; waivers emphasized
Summary
The Wasatch County School Board approved the 2026–27 fee schedules for high schools (with targeted increases and a new Intro to Gaming fee) and confirmed no changes to the middle‑school schedule; administrators reminded families that waivers and administrative supports are available.
The Wasatch County School Board approved updates to the 2026–27 high‑school fee schedule and endorsed the existing middle‑school schedule at its May 26 meeting.
Dr. Brad (business administrator) Watt reviewed proposed changes for Wasatch High School and Deer Creek High School: a $2 increase for AP test fees, a $5 increase for AP 3‑D studio art, a $25 fee for a new Intro to Gaming course (described as a computer‑science course focused on programming and game building), increases to maximum per‑trip travel allowances (an additional $2,000 cap per trip), and $25 increases to football and other athletics fees to help cover officials and game‑management costs. He noted the student‑activity card remains at $25.
Board members stressed that fee waivers are available and encouraged families who cannot afford fees to contact school administrators about waivers or alternative arrangements. One board member noted middle‑class families sometimes fall between eligibility cutoffs and urged direct conversations between families and administrators to find options, including fundraising and school supports.
The high‑school fee schedule passed on a voice vote; the middle‑school schedule (no proposed changes) was also approved by voice vote.
