The Winton Woods City School District shall waive fees assessed by the District for academic/instructional materials only for students who meet the eligibility requirements and guidelines for free meals. This waiver does not include District fees associated with extra-curricular activities or student enrichment programs that are not part of a course of instruction or fines assessed by the District for lost or damaged school equipment or property.

Students currently receiving cash assistance under the Ohio Works First program are eligible for waiver of any fees associated with membership or joining extracurricular activities. This waiver does not extend to other costs associated with participation in extracurricular activities or to fines assessed by the District for lost or damaged school equipment or property.

Students receiving cash assistance under the Ohio Works First program are also eligible for uniform assistance. (See Policy 5511.01)

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.
