Fees includes money or something of monetary value raised by a student or the student’s family through fundraising. Payments made to a third party that provides a part of a school sponsored activity are also fees .i.e., admission fees, hotel or transportation expenses.
Schools are allowed to charge fees to students as specified in the requirement set forth in Utah Code 53G-7. An LEA may only charge a fee if the fee is authorized by the LEA governing board in accordance with UCA 53G-7-505.
