Board reviews school fees and discusses GoFan ticketing, no final vote
Summary
Business services proposed modest meal-price increases and aligning grade categories; board discussed GoFan/cashless ticketing options including who would absorb convenience fees and keeping cash as an option. No fee schedule vote was taken.
At its May meeting the New London School District board reviewed the annual school fees packet and discussed options for cashless ticketing for events.
Business services presented a redline fee packet and suggested small increases to food prices to keep pace with costs — an example was cited to increase breakfast by 5¢ and lunch by 10¢. Staff also recommended standardizing fees for students who are in a middle‑school building so K–5/6 grade labels align with current building assignments.
Board members then discussed adopting a GoFan (cashless) ticketing system for events. Staff said options include the district absorbing the convenience fee, passing it to patrons, or offering both cash and digital payment choices. One board member said keeping both options available would minimize burdens on patrons who prefer cash.
No motions were made to adopt fee changes at the meeting. Staff said a detailed fee schedule with per‑item calculations will return for a future vote.
