Wow, I cannot imagine having to pay fees for courses in a public school. The only fee I ever had to pay for my daughter in 4 years of HS was a one-time $30 senior year "graduation fee" which I'm assuming went toward diploma and cap & gown.We have a list of fees for certain classes. And certain classes in the vocational categories require the purchase of certain equipment, tools, etc.....I took Cosmetology in high school, and was required to purchase a kit, a uniform, and shoes. My daughter was accepted into a visual arts class, and the additional fee is $15. I'm not complaining about that. I was aware of the class fees when she signed up for them. The thing that bothers me is the fact that neither our state nor county offer any type of funding or support for certain courses, and therefore, cause the need for fundraisers.
Here is a list of fees for this school year.....I was shocked that Physical Education requires a $10 fee per course.....my best friend's daughter is taking at least one PE course every year, and most likely two.
EVERYTHING else was voluntary.
