Board adopts revised fee schedule; board discusses drivers ed pricing and participation fees
Summary
The board approved a revised fee schedule, including discussion of a $300 behind-the-wheel drivers education fee, how instructors are paid, and whether PTO or booster groups will continue to cover student participation fees.
Administration presented changes to the district fee schedule and the board discussed multiple line items before voting to approve the schedule. Board members focused on drivers education pricing — the proposal mentioned a $300 fee for behind-the-wheel portions and contrasted that with previous rates and teacher pay practices. Administration explained instructor pay comes from district schedules and overall program costs vary with enrollment and course length.
Board members also discussed that community organizations (Cold Backers and PTO) have previously covered participation fees for students and that those arrangements may continue. Discussion of hot-lunch pricing noted a statutory or policy-driven mandate to keep lunch pricing within a certain percentage, which was given as the reason for increases. Following discussion the board moved to approve the fee schedule as presented and carried the motion by voice vote.
