Boyceville board votes to eliminate middle/high school activity and art fees starting 2026–27
Summary
The Boyceville Community School District Board unanimously approved discontinuing middle and high school student activity and art fees beginning with the 2026–2027 school year, a change the board said will remove a recurring cost for families and will be folded into district budgeting.
The Boyceville Community School District Board voted unanimously on March 25 to discontinue student activity and art fees for middle and high school students beginning with the 2026–2027 school year. "Motion by Ben Mrdutt to discontinue student activity and art fees beginning with the 2026-2027 school year for middle/high school students," the minutes record; the motion was seconded and carried with all members voting in favor.
Board members discussed budgetary context before the vote, noting the district is preparing the 2026–27 budget and that compensation and benefits make up roughly two-thirds of the district's expenditures. District Accountant Emmaly Monfort said staff orders are under a March 30 budget freeze as the district moves into next-year planning; the board did not specify how the loss of fee revenue will be offset beyond general budgeting and regular budget development processes. The change takes effect with the next school year and will be reflected in staff guidance and parent communications.
