Granite board adopts 2025-26 school fee schedule after debate over admission fees
Summary
The board approved the 2025-26 fee schedule with amendments clarifying property damage fees as a maximum; members expressed concern that admission fees could replace lost general student fee revenue.
The Granite School District Board approved the 2025-26 school fee schedule on April 1, 2025, following staff presentation of minor amendments. Craig Stauffer, director of School Leadership and Improvement, reported the adjustments and explained that admission fees for games and performances are being considered as a possible replacement for revenue if general student fees are discontinued.
Board members voiced concern about the policy choice and the potential impact on students; President Nicole McDermott recommended changing the property damage fee language to indicate the amounts are maximum charges. Julie Jackson moved approval and Connie Burgess seconded; the motion passed unanimously (Yea:7, Nay:0). The minutes do not specify final admission fee amounts.
The action leaves room for budgetary decisions to replace general student fee revenue and directs staff to monitor how allocations might offset lost revenue.
