Winfield SD 34 considers CPI-linked increases to registration, activity and building-use fees
Summary
District administrators recommended CPI-based, rounded-dollar increases to registration, sports/activity and building-usage fees to allow registration to open in early March; final recommendations will return for board action in February.
Board members on Jan. 29 reviewed administration recommendations to raise registration, sports and activities, and building-usage fees for the 2026–27 school year.
Administration told the board it is proposing CPI-based, rounded-dollar increases — consistent with past practice — and brought the items earlier than usual so registration can open in early March and staff can refine enrollment projections. The minutes state that "Final recommendations will be presented for action at the February meeting." The board did not take a final vote on fee levels at the Jan. 29 meeting.
District materials figure the fee updates will be reviewed alongside custodial and maintenance costs for building usage. No specific dollar amounts for the proposed increases appear in the minutes; the administration said building usage fees "remain set by the Board and will be reviewed alongside actual custodial and maintenance costs." The board will consider final fee language and any related waivers or hardship guidance at its next meeting.
