NO REGISTRATION FEES
District 2 will not collect registration fees for the 2021-2022 school year.
The BSD2 Board of Education voted to eliminate the registration fees for the coming year to provide financial relief for its families, many of which have faced economic hardships throughout the pandemic.
Most districts charge registration fees, often $100 or more. For many years, District 2’s registration fees were $40 for elementary students and $44 for middle school students. (Middle school students will still be charged fees for agendas, lanyards, IDs, gym suits, and calculators.)
The District historically typically collects about $30,000 in registration fees. However, it also grants fee waivers to students who qualify for free and reduced-price meals, which amount to about 50 percent of the District's student population.
For the past seven years, the District has also provided classroom supplies for all students at an annual cost of about $80,000 to the District. It will continue to do so for the 2021-2022 school year.
