STUDENT FEES, FINES, AND CHARGES
Collection of Fees
Any student fees levied by a teacher or principal must be in accordance with the fee schedule approved by the school board. The school board may approve only those fees which are permitted by law or regulations of the State Board of Education.
Material Fees
Currently, all students will pay a fee for the use of materials, as established by the school board. Any unpaid fees by students should carry a valid reason for nonpayment. Fees should be prorated as new students enroll in accordance with the following schedule:
A student who enrolls anytime during the first semester is to pay 100% of the fee.
A student who enrolls anytime during the second semester is to pay 50% of the fees.
There are no refunds on material fees for withdrawing prior to the end of the school year.
Loss of or Damage to School Board Property
Students are financially liable for loss of or damage to school board property, even when malicious intent is not involved. If malicious intent is involved, the case is treated as vandalism. The responsible student shall be charged a reasonable fee for the lost or damaged item. Fees collected for damaged school board property shall be accounted for in accordance with procedures disseminated by the division's Director of Finance.
Vandalism
Deliberate and malicious damage to school board property will be paid for by the student(s) responsible for the damage or by his or her parents/guardians, in accordance with Sections 8.01‑43 and 8.01‑44 of the Code of Virginia. Funds collected by schools will be forwarded without delay to the division's business office.
Refunds
Schools may make refunds to students if they return lost items.
