District 208 board OKs 2026–27 registration fees, implements technology fee for incoming freshmen
Summary
The Board of Education approved the 2026–27 student registration fees, including a technology fee that will begin with the incoming freshman class; the vote was unanimous.
The Township High School District 208 Board of Education voted Tuesday to approve the student registration fees for the 2026–27 school year, including a new technology fee to be implemented with the incoming freshman cohort. Board member Lorena Gasca moved the measure; William Durkin seconded, and all seven members voted AYE.
The motion language recorded in the meeting packet states: "The Board of Education, Township High School District 208, Cook County, Illinois, hereby approves the Student Registration Fees for the 2026-2027 school year as presented in the March 10, 2026, Board Agenda Packet." The agenda packet also notes the technology fee change will apply to the entering freshman class and all future classes, though the packet does not specify the per-student dollar amount.
Board members did not register recorded opposition. The approval came as part of routine new-business items the board considered after staff presentations on staffing and special education earlier in the meeting. The vote roster listed the seven members present by name: Nick Caputo, William Durkin, Lorena Gasca, Laura Hruska, Nicholas Novak, Patrick Williams, and Deanna Zalas.
