Fees

Materials that are part of the basic educational program are provided with state and local funds at no charge to a student. A student, however, is expected to provide his or her own pencils, paper, pens, erasers, notebooks, calculators, headsets, etc., and may be required to pay certain other fees or deposits, including payment of:

1. a fee for materials for a class project that the student will keep, if the fee does not exceed the cost of materials;
2. membership dues in voluntary student clubs or organizations and admission fees to extracurricular activities;
3. a security deposit for the return of materials, supplies, or equipment;
4. a fee for personal physical education and athletic equipment and apparel, although a student may provide the student’s own equipment or apparel if it meets reasonable requirements and standards relating to health and safety;
5. a fee for voluntarily purchased items, such as student publications, class rings, pictures, yearbooks, graduation announcements, etc.;
6. a fee for voluntary student health and accident benefit plan;
7. a reasonable fee, not to exceed the actual annual maintenance cost, for the use of musical instruments and uniforms owned or rented by the school;

9. a parking fee;
10. a fee for a student identification card;
11. a fee for a driver training course, not to exceed the actual cost per student in the program for the current school year;

13. a fee for summer school courses that are offered tuition-free during the regular school year;
14. a reasonable fee for transportation of a student who lives within two miles of the campus;
15. a reasonable fee, not to exceed $50, for costs associated with an educational program offered outside of regular school hours through which a student who was absent from class receives instruction voluntarily for the purpose of making up the missed instruction and meeting the level of attendance required for class credit, so long as the fee would not create a financial hardship or discourage the student from attending the program;
16. a fee for lost, damaged, or overdue textbooks, library books, technological equipment, and academic curriculum materials; or
17. a fee specifically permitted by any other statute.
