The Auglaize County Educational Service Center shall waive fees assessed by the Educational Service Center for instructional materials only for students whose parent(s) or guardian are unable to afford them. The Superintendent may, as deemed necessary, establish additional procedures to supplement the procedures established in this policy regarding the requests for the waiver of fees. This waiver does not include Center fees associated with extra-curricular activities or student enrichment programs that are not part of a course of instruction.

Additionally, the Center may charge fees for tools, equipment, and materials, as specified, that are necessary for workforce-readiness training that may be retained by the students after completion of the course.

Students eligible for a waiver of school fees include, but are not limited to, the following:

The Board expects all staff members to exercise the utmost care to see that, as a result of their actions or comments, students cannot differentiate between those students whose parents are unable to purchase required instructional materials or pay required fees and those whose parents can.
