SCOH Curriculum and Digitial Curriculum Fees Update, 2024-2025 with October Pupil Enrollment - SCOH Received (October ADM) Overview.pdf
Summary: Dr. Peggy Buffington, Superintendent, along with Dr. Tim Krieg, Director of Secondary Education, Mrs. Lori Anderson, Director of Elementary Education, and Mr. Chris King, Director of Technology will report on textbook costs. These costs were established after many hours of making cuts to existing fees to cover the expenditures needed with the state’s underfunded revenue for “free textbooks.” The state’s effort to cover costs at $151.00 per student is not enough after cuts made. This is very evident at the high school level. The administration asks the Board to adopt the fees for the 2024-2025 school year associated with this report so that it may be filed with the state when the appropriate data is requested from the Indiana Department of Education.
