General School Fees

Due to a change in State Funding, Curricular Materials Rental fees will no longer be charged beginning with the 23-24 School Year. Other fees, such as damage fees, lost book fees, replacement fees, and extracurricular fees, may still be charged. These fees are due by the end of the school year and can be turned over to collections if not paid. Kinum, Inc. is the agency that we utilize for collections purposes.

Fees for most general school fees are NOT covered by free or reduced status.
