Student Fee's Policy
STUDENT FEES, MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS AND FINES (3-1.9)
The Board of Education of the Nebraska City Public Schools authorizes the school staff to assess fees, charges or fines to students, as provided by the Public Elementary and Secondary Fee Authorization Act. Student fees authorized by this act include:
1. Participation in school sponsored extracurricular activities which do not count toward graduation.
2. Admission fees and transportation charges for spectators attending extracurricular activities.
3. Post-secondary education costs for tuition and other expenses associated with obtaining credit from a post-secondary educational institution.
4. Transportation for option enrollment students.
5. Reimbursement for school district property lost or damaged by a student.
6. Summer school or night school.
7. Breakfast and lunch programs.
Students and their parents are expected to provide minor personal or consumable items for specific courses and activities, such as pencils, pens, crayons, colored pencils, scissors, paper, folders, markers, erasers, glue sticks, notebooks, binders, tissues, rulers, calculators, computer disks, book bags, physical education clothing / shoes that conform to the general guideline for student dress and other supplies as needed.
A public hearing on student fees will be held on the proposed fees and other items expected to be furnished by students. The adopted fee policy will be published in the student handbooks.
When a student maintains possession of project course materials upon completion, the student and their parent may provide the materials for that project or pay the school for the consumable materials used for that project.
All money collected from the students will be deposited in the Student Fee Fund. Money will be expended from the Student Fee Fund for the purposes for which the money was collected from students.
The Board recognizes that some students and their families are not financially able to pay the fees or provide the items expected by the school. Fees may be waived for students that qualify for the federal free and reduced lunch program. Applications to have fees waived are available upon request and must be filled out prior to fees being waived. Students qualifying for, but not participating in, the free or reduced lunch program may still submit the student waiver fee.
The board will annually determine the dollar amount to be charged to students or others for fees. It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent, in conjunction with the principal, to develop administrative regulations regarding this policy.
