Student Fees

Published May 26, 2011

The Williamson County Board of Education has established course fees and fees for extra-curricular activities for the 2011-12 school year.  The Board adopts the fee schedule annually for the upcoming school year, and there are some fee changes and increases for the next year based on input from school principals.

Fees at the elementary school level remained the same at $25 with an additional $5 recorder fee.  At the middle school level, basic academic fees are a maximum of $90, but there are several changes regarding extra-curricular participation fees.  Major sport fees are $100 per student, per sport with minor sport fees $80 per student, per sport.  Cheerleading is $220; dance is $135; golf is $300; and strings/band is $200 per student.

At the high school level, most course fees remained the same as last year with fee changes in extra-curricular and other activities.  Forensics increased from $50 to $300; graduation increased from $50 to $75; and athletic fees increased from $50 to $100.  Fees were established for many groups that had not had a fee in the past including, but not limited to, marching band, $200; golf, $300; cheerleading, $200; dance, $200; thespians, $200 and chorus, $125.  

Extra-curricular fees are not optional.  After the fees have been collected, the students and student groups may also continue to fundraise above and beyond to cover additional expenses as many of these activities cannot be done at the level participants desire with these fee amounts.  Revenue collected through fundraising must be used to cover additional expenses for the group.
