Vita Plena
When we conducted research of fees from surrounding districts in 2020, we found that most public
high schools charge far more fees than LTHS. For instance, most public high school we surveyed
charge a student for each sport they play and each club they join in addition to band, choir and dance
fees. LTHS does not charge a software fee in addition to a technology fee as is regular practice at
many comparable schools. LT charges less for Driver education that every school we surveyed. We
also are one of the very few schools that charge a textbook rental fee of $75 rather than adopting a
textbook model similar to the collegiate level where students purchase all books, consumables, and
software access without any subsidy or coordination from the high school. LT ranks near the low end
at $250 per year prior to optional fees with most comparable districts between $300 and $600. A few
outliers, for students heavily involved in athletics and activities, exceed $1000 each year with
textbooks added on top of that.
RECOMMENDATION:
We recommend the Board approve the fees for the 2024-2025 school year as presented.
