The Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) School Board had a busy agenda during the Tuesday morning session, but one item enacted impacting families in the coming school year is the setting of student fees.

This has been traditionally called “textbook rental fees” but in today’s world also encompasses technology, as well as other fees.

Here is what the board unanimously passed Tuesday.

Elementary and Intermediate   

Kindergarten through 6th grade consumable and material fees have been revised due to a new adoption or a change in pricing.  Textbook fees have been revised to reflect the literacy adoption. There are many “pieces” to a literacy adoption that result in significant costs to HSE families. In lieu of passing on the full weight of these purchases to students and parents, HSE Schools are offsetting the costs by using referendum fund dollars. The school district’s goal was to keep the increases at an average of around $50 per student as opposed to $80 – $120 per student.
