state-legislation-eliminated-curriculum-fees-for-students-in-public-schools-for-2023-2024-school-year
The new Indiana state budget included funding to eliminate curriculum fees for children enrolled in public schools. Indiana is now one of more than 40 states across the country to cover the costs of textbook and technology fees, according to Indiana Senator Jean Leising, who represents Senate District 42 which includes Shelbyville.
“Making these investments in Indiana’s students is important for our state’s long-term success. Senate Republicans were happy to support these initiatives so parents feel confident about the quality of education their students receive,” said Leising in a media release.
The elimination of curriculum fees is part of the state’s historic $2.9 billion investment in K-12 education funding over the next two years, according to Leising.
Families of Shelbyville Central Schools students will only be responsible for purchasing insurance for iPads issued to students. That is not a required fee.
“I know there are some uncertainties about other fees but as for our fees, (families) will not have them,” said Shelbyville Central Schools Superintendent Dr. Matt Vance. “Now this will not include extracurricular fees. This is just for classes.”
Enrollment is now open at Shelbyville Central Schools. The first day of the upcoming school year is Aug. 9.
