EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The School Board annually approves charges, reimbursements, rental fees, etc. to cover the cost of consumable supplies, textbooks, vocational kits, etc.

Category 3 - These are rental fees paid by the students.

Category 4 - These items are service charges paid by the students and are primarily vocational club dues and similar charges.

Category 5 - These are optional items including workbooks, paperback novels, etc. that are generally sold through the bookstore.
