School Activity Fee Waiver
To encourage all students to participate in all school activities, regardless of the student's financial situation, it is the POLICY of the BOARD to waive the payment of part or all of student fees if the student or the student's parent/ guardian demonstrates an inability to pay such fees, and to notify students and parent/guardian of this fee waiver POLICY.
Student fees for the purpose of this policy include fees for school day field trips and fees that are on the yearly student fee schedule, except for library and textbook fines.

School Activity Fee Waiver
At the beginning of each semester, the PRINCIPAL shall notify the staff, the students, and their parents or guardians of this POLICY and PROCEDURE. In addition, information regarding the fee waiver POLICY will be included in enrollment information provided to new students and their parents or guardians, and in information about the availability of free and reduced-price student meals. Any written notification or registration form relative to items on the student fee schedule including field trips shall include an opportunity to claim a waiver under this policy unless, when a parent/child indicates that a child will not participate, the class teacher or another representative of the school makes a good faith effort to contact and inform each such parent/child that s/he can claim a waiver pursuant to this policy. When information about such an activity is given verbally to a group, information regarding fee waivers is to be given verbally. A student or his or her parent may also seek a fee waiver by contacting the PRINCIPAL or principal's designee directly.
Whether a student, or his or her parent or guardian, is unable to pay a fee in whole or in part shall be determined by the PRINCIPAL or principal's designee upon consideration of financial information provided by the applicant for the exemption. Factors to be considered include, but are not limited to, eligibility for free or reduced student meals. Any denial of a waiver under this PROCEDURE may be appealed to the appropriate Assistant Superintendent.
