SCOH 24_25 Fees (Board Approval) - 7-3-24.pdf
Summary: Dr. Peggy Buffington, Superintendent, and Dr. Tim Krieg, Director of Secondary Education, will highlight this year's student textbook/ program and fee costs for the 2024-2025 school year. Lori Anderson, Director of Elementary Education, and Chris King, Director of Technology, assisted in providing the costs for their areas. Last year, 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 remains at $151.00 per student and still is not enough cover all of the curricular needs. 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.
