Granton board waives student and athletic fees for 2025–26
Summary
The Granton Area School District will not charge student or athletic participation fees for the 2025–26 school year after board votes; the athletic director position remains open.
The board voted July 14 not to charge student fees or athletic participation fees for the 2025–26 school year.
"Motion to not charge student fees for the 2025-26 school year," said Mark Elmhorst when moving the student-fee measure; Erica Bender seconded and the voice vote carried. Separately, the board passed a motion to not charge athletic fees for the coming year and approved the 2025–26 Athletic Code/Handbook.
Board members noted staffing gaps remain: the district is still recruiting an athletic director and a C-team volleyball coach. The policy choices mean activities and class participation will be offered without per-student fees for the coming year, but the minutes do not detail how the district will budget for lost fee revenue.
