Show District ups student fees for upper grades Students attending secondary schools in the Alpine School District will pay slightly more for some classes when they begin school this fall. The schedule adopted by members of the board of education at their May business meeting raised the Driver's Education fee by $3 to $15; the music instrument rental fee by $5 to $40; and ninth grade textbook rental by $8 to $30. Other hikes are in the Assisted Study program; and in the registration for participation in the Clear Creek Summer Camp which is up $5 to $60. The fee schedule has been discussed by board members for the past several weeks. The fee policy was made necessary because of a legislative mandate which calls for school districts to publish all fees and a waiver process on a yearly basis. According to the policy philosophy, expenses which are beyond the ordinary costs of the basic educational program, such as yearbooks, clubs, travel, after-school activities and athletic participation should be borne largely by the participating students. |
