EXTRACURRICULAR FEES APPROVED
The Clear Creek ISD Board of Trustees approved extracurricular fees for students participating in athletics and fine arts programs. The fee structure will go into effect for the 2012-2013 school year.
“With deep cuts from the State, CCISD continues to look for ways to manage the budget shortfall,” explained Board President Dee Scott. “We do not want to place another burden on our families during this tough economic time, but we are trying to do what’s best for our students by maintaining these popular programs.” Clear Creek ISD lost $13 million in state funding this year and will lose an additional $4 million in 2012-2013.
The fee structure was developed by a District Committee led by Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Education, Dr. Alex Torrez. “We looked at the surrounding districts and other districts our size,” said Torrez. “The fee structure we came up with is in-line or in many cases less than fees other districts have in place.” Students will pay one fee of either $50 or $30, no matter how many activities they are involved in. The money generated by the fees will go to help pay for the purchase and maintenance of uniforms and equipment.
FEE STRUCTURE:
High School
$50 for the first high school student in the family
$30 for each additional high school student in the same family (up to 3).
Any additional students are free.
Intermediate
$30 for the first intermediate student in the family
$20 for each additional intermediate student in the same family (up to 3).
Any additional students are free.
The fee for students that qualify for the free and reduced meal program is one half the cost of the standard fee. District fees apply to programs which involve a sponsor, travel, and competition.
If a student participates in both an athletics program and a fine arts program, only one fee is paid, not one for each program. For example, a high school student who is on the swim team and sings in the choir will pay $50. The new extracurricular fees include, but are not limited to, the following programs:
