STUDENT FEES, FINES AND CHARGES

The School Committee recognizes the need for student fees to fund certain school activities which are not financed by local, state, or federal funds.  It also recognizes that some students may not be able to pay these fees.  No pupil will be denied an education because of his or her inability to pay these supplementary charges.

The School Committee will approve any charges for materials, supplies, and equipment use for courses and instructional programs.  No school may exact such a fee or charge except as it has Board approval.  The schools however may:

1. Charge students enrolled in certain occupational courses for the cost of materials used in projects that will become the property of the students.

2. Charge for lost and damaged books, materials, supplies, and equipment.
