Board adopts school fee schedule changes as first reading under HB344
Summary
Directors presented required changes to school fee schedules under HB344; the board approved the 2025–26 fee schedule as a first reading, directing staff to develop plans to offset lost revenue where fees are now prohibited.
Steve Perschon and Craig Stauffer explained required adjustments to school fee schedules because of HB344, including a prohibition on charging fees for courses that are considered non-fee courses (those that result in credit/grade in core subjects) and a mandate that by 2026–27 there must be at least one pathway to graduation requiring no fees. The board approved the proposed fee schedule as a first reading.
Trustees discussed the need to develop district plans to support schools facing revenue loss. The motion to accept the school fees for 2025–26 as a first reading passed with one member absent (Julie Jackson).
