Board reviews proposed fees for 2025–26; waivers available
Summary
Staff proposed reinstating several pre-pandemic fees for 2025–26 with small increases for family athletic passes and instrument rentals, while preserving fee-reduction and waiver processes to maintain access for students in need.
The board reviewed proposed tuition and fee schedules for the 2025–26 school year on May 21. Executive Director Dr. Sara Deboy said the district used ESSER funds in recent years to cover many fees but is proposing to reinstate some pre-pandemic fees while keeping course fees unchanged and removing obsolete charges such as a PE fee.
Dr. Deboy said most fees remain at pre-pandemic levels, with a modest $10 increase for family athletic passes and a small increase for instrument rentals. She emphasized that the district has processes for reduced fees or waivers so students can still participate: "they have the option for reduced fees or waivers built into these fee schedules." The board discussed taking the item forward as a first reading and returning for formal approval at the business meeting; staff noted they could split motions for fees and for in-district tuition if the board prefers.
