The district will provide an educational program for the students as free of cost as possible.

The superintendent or designee may approve the use of supplementary supplies or materials for which a charge is made
to the student so long as the charge does not exceed the cost of the supplies or materials, students are free to purchase
them elsewhere, or provide reasonable alternatives, and proper accounting is made of all moneys received by staff for
supplies and materials.

The board delegates authority to the superintendent or designee to establish appropriate fees and procedures governing
the collection of such fees and to make annual reports to the board regarding fee schedules. Arrangements will be made
for the waiver or reduction of fees for students whose families, because of by-reaser-ef their low income, would have
difficulty paying the full fee. For programs governed by the National School Lunch Act, the USDA Child Nutrition
Program guidelines will be used to determine qualification for waiver. The superintendent or designee will establish a
procedure for annually notifying parents of the availability of fee waivers and reductions, including eligibility information
for free or reduced-price meals.

decision may be appealed to the superintendent or designee and to the beard-ef directors board. When damages are in
excess of $100, the appeal process for long-term suspension will apply.
