Summary

Board discussed proposed student fee changes — increasing driver education fees and moving to an activity-fee model — and agreed in principle to community gym use with paperwork and waivers required.

During the March 18 meeting the board discussed proposed changes to student fees for the 2026–27 school year. The proposal would raise driver education fees from $40 to $48 and replace a $2-per-game student admission with an activity fee structure charging $40 per activity with an $80 maximum per student and a $120 maximum per family; free/reduced provisions would still apply. The minutes list the proposals as discussion items; no final vote on fee policy was recorded.

Separately, the board agreed in discussion to allow community use of the gym during non-business hours with a $5-per-person fee, subject to completion of an event coordinator form and individual waiver forms, and submission of required pre- and post-event paperwork by the coordinator. The record shows the board's surface agreement on conditions but does not include a final policy vote during the March 18 meeting.
