FCPS 2009 BUDGET UPDATE:
Activity Fee Clarification
From the PTSA President:
It was brought to our attention that the original proposed activity fee has been changed. I have contacted FCPS for clarification. Please see below the response from Kristen Michael, Assistant Director, Office of Budget Services (571-423-3617)
Question # 42
School Board Member Requesting Information: Kaye Kory
Answer Prepared By: Jack Dale
Date Prepared: January 29, 2008
Question:
In the notebooks distributed to the School Board Members and the Board of Supervisors at the joint Work Session, on page 19, "This estimate includes charging for all activities in HS and MS." Please explain for which HS activities and for which MS activities families would be charged. On the same page is, '"This fee will be adjusted for students eligible for free and reduced-price meals." Please explain the adjustments planned for FRM students. (KK09 - Office of the Superintendent)
Response:
When the budget documents were being prepared, there was still an internal debate on how much to charge and what to charge. At this stage, staff is suggesting a $100 fee for high school students engaged in VHSL athletics. Any student eligible for free or reduced price meals would be exempt from the participation fee.
As School Board members continue to ask questions, the Budget Question responses will be updated. To access this information, go to http://www.fcps.edu/news/fy2009.htm and select "FY 2009 Proposed Budget Questions," which is the first item under Budget Documents. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
***According to Ms. Michael, after further clarification, the athletic fee of $100 is charged per athlete per sport with no maximum cap.
