Board approves new participation fees, keeps family cap to $100
Summary
The Kiona-Benton City School District board approved modest increases to ASB and per-season sports fees and set annual caps intended to limit cost burdens for families; the superintendent said a recent $6,000 gift will help offset costs for students in need.
The Kiona-Benton City School District board voted to adopt a revised schedule of student activity and athletics fees aimed at keeping participation affordable while covering program costs. Superintendent Pete Peterson said the board adopted modest increases to ASB fees — middle school ASB from $10 to $15 and high school ASB from $35 to $40 — and set per-season participation charges with annual caps: $20 per middle-school season with a $50 student maximum per year, $30 per high-school season with a $60 student maximum, and a $100 family cap per year.
Peterson told the board the principals led a process to balance broad participation and affordability. "The ASB fees will go into effect upon successful adoption by the 2 building ASB clubs," he said, and noted the district had received a $6,000 donation to the InvestEd account to help cover costs. He emphasized coaches and school staff would work confidentially with families in need so students can participate without stigma. The board moved, seconded and adopted the fee schedule by voice vote.
