• Safari Preschool Admissions

At Safari Learning® Preschool we help our young learners to feel safe, loved and comfortable away from home. Our center is an alternate arena, beyond the home, to develop socially, physically, emotionally and academically. We actively encourage self-discovery that points the child to people, places and things outside of themselves and their families to help them see the “big picture” of our world around us.

We offer equal admission opportunity regardless of sex, race, color, national ethnic origin or ability to learn. It is our goal to see that all children are given an equal “first start” to education. For students with special needs, we will seek county resources for additional help so they gain every possible educational advantage. It is our duty to see each child as “a whole” and to guide them on the path to develop a love of learning as a life-long learner.

Your child deserves the BEST so contact us for more information about enrollment.

Understanding the Need

Safari Scholars is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to improving access to quality educational opportunities in Africa, starting in Tanzania.

Tanzania is well known for its national parks and wildlife such as the Serengeti and the annual migration of milli ons of animals. Less well known is that education is a privilege -- not a right. Only primary education is free (the first seven years). Secondary education (the next six years) is only available to those who can afford to pay for it. While the government is strengthening the educational system, there is still much to be done:

• Many students who qualify for secondary education cannot afford the fees
• Schools often lack the most basic books and equipment needed for a quality education

Making A Difference

The Association for Safari Scholars is working on two initiatives with Suumu Secondary School in the Kilimanjaro region. Started by the local community in 2005, the school has made tremendous progress in its first few years. As a community-driven school, tuition is relatively reasonable compared to many private schools, yet still out of reach for many families.

• Scholarships for Students – Safari Scholars pays tuition and fees for outstanding students who otherwise couldn't afford to go to school. While annual secondary schooling costs of $150 may seem affordable by Western standards, the average annual income in Tanzania is less than $300. Learn More Donate
• Textbook Drive – Safari Scholars is raising money to purchase as many textbooks as possible for Suumu Secondary School. Although the curriculum and required textbooks are set by the government, textbooks are not provided for each student. Schools and students must raise the funds to purchase the books needed. This means that many schools, Suumu included, only have 1-2 textbooks per classroom. Learn More Donate

Internet providers must now be more transparent about fees, pricing, FCC says

Internet service providers will be required to be more transparent about the cost and performance of their internet service packages, thanks to new FCC rules that take effect this week

NEW YORK -- Much like nutritional labels on food products, “broadband labels” for internet packages will soon tell you just what is going into the pricing of your service, thanks to new rules adopted by the Federal Communications Commission this week.

“If you’ve ever shopped for home or mobile internet, you can understand how hard it can be to understand what you’re actually paying for,” said Jon Donenberg, Deputy Director of the White House National Economic Council, on a call with reporters. "The broadband nutrition label is a tool that can help consumers make sure they have a clear, straightforward explanation of home and mobile services before signing up for anything.”

Following the design of FDA food labels, these broadband labels will provide easy-to-understand, accurate information about the cost and performance of high-speed internet service to help consumers avoid junk fees, price hikes, and other unexpected costs.

Internet service providers selling home access or mobile broadband plans will be required to have a label for each plan beginning April 10.

The labels will be mandated to appear at any point of sale, including online and in stores, and they will be required to disclose all pricing information — including introductory rates, data allowances, and speeds. The labels will also include links to information about network management practices and privacy policies.

Here's what you need to know.

Hidden fees and unexpected rate hikes have dogged consumers shopping for internet service for years, and the Biden administration has been cracking down on “junk fees” (opaque and misleading fee structures) across industries — including banking, hotel and airline pricing, and utility and phone services — for the past several years.

On a call Tuesday, a spokesperson for the FCC clarified that the labels “cannot be buried in multiple clicks” or hidden in a way that a consumer might miss.

“Fees can make it hard to understand the true cost of an internet plan," said Donenberg, adding that the agency is “committed to rooting out surprise junk fees that some companies pile on to your bills.”

1. Monthly price and contract length

2. Whether that price will change after a certain period and what it will change to

3. Complete list of monthly and one-time fees, and early termination fee

4. Whether the company participates in the Affordable Connectivity Program and link to check if one qualifies

5. “Typical” download and upload speeds, and latency

6. Data cap and price beyond that cap

7. Links to network management (e.g., zero rating and content blocking) and privacy policies

A glossary is available to help consumers better understand the information displayed on the label.

If a provider does not display their labels or posts inaccurate information about its fees or service plans, consumers can file a complaint with the FCC Consumer Complaint Center.

While many providers will begin displaying their labels in April, some firms with less than 100,000 subscribers will have until Oct. 10, 2024, to comply with the FCC rules.

James and Jennifer Crumbley, parents of Michigan shooter, sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison

Jennifer and James Crumbley, the first parents of a mass school shooter in the U.S. to be convicted of involuntary manslaughter for the attack, were sentenced Tuesday in a Michigan courtroom to 10 to 15 years in prison.

The sentence came after the court heard statements from the family members of Tate Myre, 16, Hana St. Juliana, 14, Madisyn Baldwin, 17, and Justin Shilling, 17 . The students were killed when the Crumbleys' son, Ethan, went on a shooting rampage at Oxford High School in Michigan on Nov. 30, 2021.

"You created all of this," Nicole Beausoleil, Baldwin's mother, said through tears. "You failed as parents. The punishment that you face will never be enough."

Beausoleil recalled the final hours of her daughter's life, comparing them with the Crumbleys' actions before and during the shooting. "When you texted 'Ethan don't do it,' I was texting Madisyn: 'I love you. Please call Mom,'" she said.

Reina St. Juliana, the sister of Hana, brought many to tears as she spoke of how her sister would never see her prom, graduation or birthdays.

"I never got to say goodbye," Reina said. "Hana was only 14 ... she took her last breath in a school she hadn't even been in for three months."

Jill Soave, mother of Justin Shilling, asked the judge to hand down the maximum sentence possible to both parents. "The ripple effects of both James' and Jennifer's failures to act have devastated us all," she said. "This tragedy was completely preventable."

Judge Cheryl Matthews addressed both parents before handing down the sentence, "Mr. Crumbley, it's clear to this court that because of you, there was unfettered access to a gun or guns, as well as ammunition in your home.

"Mrs. Crumbley, you glorified the use and possession of these weapons," she added.

Both parents will credited for time already spent in jail.

Matthews also barred the pair or their "agents" from any contact with the families of the four students. She said she would also rule on the parents' rights to contact their son.

Jennifer and James Crumbley also addressed the court ahead of their sentence.

"The dragging this has had on my heart and soul cannot be expressed in words, just as I know this is not going to ease the pain and suffering of the victims and their families," Jennifer Crumbley said.

Jennifer Crumbley used her statement to clarify her trial testimony when she said she would not have done anything differently leading up to the shooting. It was "completely misunderstood," she said Tuesday, adding that her son had seemed "so normal" and that she could not have foreseen the attack.

She said prosecutors tried to paint her and her husband as parents "so horrible, only a school or mass shooter could be bred from."

"We were good parents. We were the average family. We weren't perfect, but we loved our son and each other tremendously," Jennifer Crumbley said.

James Crumbley apologized to the families during his statement.

"I cannot express how much I wish I had known what was going on with him and what was going to happen, because I absolutely would have done a lot of things differently," he said.

Prosecutors asked that each parent be given 10 to 15 years in prison after separate juries found them each guilty of four counts of involuntary manslaughter earlier this year. Their son, 15 at the time of the shooting, is serving a life sentence for the murders.

The parents have shown no remorse for their actions, prosecutors told Matthews in a sentencing memo . They told the juries that the Crumbleys bought their son the gun he used and ignored troubling signs about his mental health.

Legal experts have said the case, which drew national attention, could influence how society views parents' culpability when their children access guns and cause harm with them. Whether the outcome encourages prosecutors to bring charges against parents going forward remains to be seen.

Why were the Crumbleys culpable in their son's crimes?

The Crumbleys' son went on a rampage in the halls of Oxford High School hours after his parents were called to the school by counselors to discuss concerns over disturbing drawings he had done on a math assignment. Prosecutors said the parents didn't tell school officials their son had access to guns in the home and left him at school that day.

James Crumbley purchased the gun used in the shooting, and in a post on social media Jennifer Crumbley said it was a Christmas present for the boy. The prosecution said the parents could have prevented the shooting if they had taken ordinary care to secure the gun and taken action when it was clear their son was having severe mental health struggles.

The prosecution cited messages the teen sent months before the shooting to his mother that said he saw a "demon" in their house and that clothes were flying around. He also texted a friend that he had "paranoia" and was hearing voices. In a journal, he wrote: "I have zero HELP for my mental problems and it's causing me to shoot up" the school.

The Crumbleys also tried to flee law enforcement when it became clear they would face charges, prosecutors said.

Defense attorneys said the parents never foresaw their son's actions. Jennifer Crumbley portrayed herself as an attentive mother when she took the stand in her own defense, and James Crumbley's lawyer said that the gun didn't really belong to the son, that the father properly secured the gun and that he didn't allow his son to use it unsupervised. In an interview with the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network,  the jury foreman in James Crumbley's trial said  storage of the gun was the key testimony that drove him to convict.

Parents asked for house arrest, time served

James Crumbley has asked to be sentenced to time already served since his arrest in December 2021, according to the prosecutors' sentencing memo. Jennifer Crumbley hoped to serve out a sentence on house arrest while living in her lawyer's guest house.

Prosecutors rejected the requests in the memo to the judge, saying neither had shown remorse for their roles in the deaths of the four children. James Crumbley also was accused of threatening Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald in a jail phone conversation, Keast said, showing his "chilling lack of remorse."

"Such a proposed sentence is a slap in the face to the severity of tragedy caused by (Jennifer Crumbley's) gross negligence, the victims and their families," Assistant Oakland County Prosecutor Marc Keast wrote of the mother's request in a sentencing memo.

Each involuntary manslaughter count carries up to 15 years in prison, though typically such sentences are handed down concurrently, not consecutively. The judge also has the discretion to go above or below the state advisory guidelines, which recommended a sentencing range of 43 to 86 months − or a maximum of about seven years. The state guideline is advisory, based on post-conviction interviews and facts of the case.

Some Colleges Will Soon Charge $100,000 a Year. How Did This Happen?

Some Vanderbilt students will have $100,000 in total expenses for the 2024-25 school year. The school doesn’t really want to talk about it.

By Ron Lieber

Reporting from Vanderbilt University in Nashville

It was only a matter of time before a college would have the nerve to quote its cost of attendance at nearly $100,000 a year. This spring, we’re catching our first glimpse of it.

Listen to this article with reporter commentary

Open this article in the New York Times Audio app on iOS.

One letter to a newly admitted Vanderbilt University engineering student showed an all-in price — room, board, personal expenses, a high-octane laptop — of $98,426. A student making three trips home to Los Angeles or London from the Nashville campus during the year could hit six figures.

This eye-popping sum is an anomaly. Only a tiny fraction of college-going students will pay anything close to this anytime soon, and about 35 percent of Vanderbilt students — those who get neither need-based nor merit aid — pay the full list price.

But a few dozen other colleges and universities that reject the vast majority of applicants will probably arrive at this threshold within a few years. Their willingness to cross it raises two questions for anyone shopping for college: How did this happen, and can it possibly be worth it?

Who Pays What

According to the College Board, the average 2023-24 list price for tuition, fees, housing and food was $56,190 at private, nonprofit four-year schools. At four-year public colleges, in-state students saw an average $24,030 sticker price.

That’s not what many people pay, though, not even close. As of the 2019-20 school year, according to federal data that the College Board used in a 2023 report , 39 percent of in-state students attending two-year colleges full time received enough grant aid to cover all of their tuition and fees (though not their living expenses, which can make getting through school enormously difficult). At four-year public schools, 31 percent paid nothing for tuition and fees while 18 percent of students at private colleges and universities qualified for the same deal.

Those private colleges continue to provide hefty discounts for people of all sorts of incomes. A National Association of College and University Business Officers study showed private nonprofit colleges and universities lowering their tuition prices by 56 percent from the rack rate during the 2022-23 school year.

Vanderbilt provides discounts, too, and its financial aid is extraordinarily generous. This year, it announced that families with income of $150,000 or less would pay no tuition in most instances .

Still, over 2,000 students there who get no need-based or merit aid will soon pay $100,000 or more. Why does Vanderbilt need all of that money?

Where the Money Goes

At a few small liberal arts colleges with enormous endowments, even $100,000 would not cover the average cost of educating a student, according to the schools. Williams College says it spends roughly $50,000 more per student than its list price, for instance.

In other words, everyone is getting a subsidy. Perhaps its list price should be over $100,000, too, so that its endowment is not offering unneeded help to wealthy families. Or, perhaps, a price that high would scare away low-income applicants who do not realize that they might get a free ride there.

According to Vanderbilt, its spending per undergraduate is $119,000. “The gap between the price and cost of attendance is funded by our endowment and the generous philanthropy of donors and alumni,” Brett Sweet, vice chancellor for finance, said in an emailed statement.

No one at the school would meet with me to break this figure down or get on the phone to talk about it. But Vanderbilt’s financial statements offer clues to how it spends money. In the 2023 fiscal year, 52 percent of its operating expenses went to faculty, staff and student salaries and wages, plus fringe benefits.

Robert B. Archibald and David H. Feldman, two academics who wrote “ Why Does College Cost So Much? ,” explained in their book why labor costs were so tricky at these institutions.

“The critical factors are that higher education is a personal service, that it has not experienced much labor-saving productivity growth, and that the wages of the highly educated workers so important at colleges and universities have soared,” they said. “These are economywide factors. They have little to do with any pathology in higher education.”

Critics of the industry still believe that a kind of administrative bloat has set in, driving up tuition with outsize salaries. But what is bloat, really?

Administrators oversee compliance, like the laws that have made it possible for disabled people to get to and through college and keep schools from discriminating against women. If we don’t like regulation, we can vote for different legislators.

Similarly, families in a free market can make alternative choices if they want fewer mental health practitioners and their bosses, computer network administrators, academic advisers or career counselors. And yet the first (prescreened) question that Vanderbilt’s chancellor, Daniel Diermeier, answered on family weekend this past fall was about whether Vanderbilt should invest even more in career advising in the wake of the school’s five-spot decline in the annual U.S. News rankings .

Is It Worth It?

If many families are not exactly lining up for a cut-rate residential undergraduate education, they’re still asking plenty of good questions about value. So is a $400,000 college education ever worth it?

It depends, and you knew that answer was coming, right?

Most college shoppers wonder about income outcomes, and it’s possible to search by undergraduate major on the federal government’s College Scorecard website . This program-level data exists for alumni who are four years out from graduation, though only for those who received any federal financial aid.

Vanderbilt’s biomedical/medical engineering majors have median earnings of $94,340 four years out. English language and literature majors are earning $53,767.

Those are fine results, but are they exclusive to Vanderbilt? “You could get an engineering degree at a state flagship university that’s just as valuable as something you’d get at Vanderbilt,” said Julian Treves , a financial adviser and college specialist whose newsletter tipped me off to the goings-on there.

I spent a few days trying to get Vanderbilt’s vice provost for university enrollment affairs, Douglas L. Christiansen , to talk to me and answer these questions squarely and more expansively, but I did not succeed. A university spokeswoman sent me some generalities in his name. “We are committed to excellence at all levels, from the quality of our faculty, programming, facilities and research labs to the services we provide to support the academic, emotional and social well-being of our students,” went the statement.

In anticipation of the absence of a substantive reply, I attended a group information session for 125 or so prospective students and asked there, too. The senior admissions officer who took the question refused to answer. I’d never seen that before, and I’ve been to these sessions at dozens of schools over the years.

But really, why should an actor in a competitive marketplace answer that question if the person doesn’t absolutely have to? Without publicly available, industrywide quantitative data on quality — happiness scores, customer satisfaction, measures of learning, return on friendship, the strength of career networks — the list price alone serves as a signal of excellence, to some shoppers at least.

And thousands of applicants respond to the signal each year by volunteering to pay the list price, even as the school rejects the vast majority of applicants. Or maybe they volunteer precisely because Vanderbilt and schools like it reject the vast majority of applicants.

So a $100,000 list price is not our highest-priority outrage. The spectacle of wealthy people freely purchasing luxury services is nothing new, even if it is a totally worthy object of scrutiny (and an understudied phenomenon by academics themselves, ahem).

What is a problem, then? Brent Joseph Evans , an associate professor of public policy and higher education at Vanderbilt’s college of education and human development, started his career as an admissions officer at the University of Virginia. There, he sold the institution to boarding school students in New England and teenagers in the Appalachian foothills.

The former group might pay $100,000 per year, though many of them won’t get into the Vanderbilts of the world in the first place. They will surely find their way somewhere.

But that latter group? Professor Evans is worried about their access to any school at all.

“We should care about whether they get into a state university system at a low cost and find a well-paying career that can keep them in the middle class,” he said. “I do think that sometimes any tension over what elite colleges are doing moves us away from what we should be caring about as a society.”

The work she is proudest of – the Whispering Bench – was completed in 2020, and is a tribute piece created for the retiring Cal State president. The elliptical-shaped cast concrete bench is 26 feet by 15 feet, weighs 15 tons, and sits at the center of the school’s 304-acre campus. It stands 4 feet high and is acoustically engineered so that the slightest whisper travels the bench’s curve to the opposite side.

Edwin Young

Basketball has been at the heart of Edwin’s life since his days starring for Zanesville High School during one of the school’s greatest eras of success.

From 1992 to 1996, the Blue Devils suffered few defeats with him as the team’s leader at point guard. After a 20-0 season on the junior varsity as a freshman, Edwin’s ZHS teams became synonymous with excellence for the next three years, which included the school’s most recent OHSAA state championship.

He helped ZHS to a 19-6 record and a berth in the Division I regional tournament as a sophomore, and was chosen 2nd Team All-Ohio. The undefeated, 26-0 state championship came the next year. He was selected as most outstanding player in the sectional tournament, 1st Team All-District, 1st Team All-Regional, Most Valuable Player in the state tournament, and 1st Team All-Ohio. He was chosen the state’s Division I Player of the Year as well as Player of the Year by The Times Recorder in 1996 after the Blue Devils went 23-1. All of that helped earn him a full scholarship to the University of Dayton.

At UD, Edwin was the team’s Defensive Player of the Year in 1996 and 1997, helped the Flyers win the Atlantic-10 regular season championship in 1998, and set the team record for consecutive free throws made in one game (19) in 1998. He began a career with State Farm Insurance after earning degree in public relations with a minor in business. He owns and operates his own agency, which is a $3.8 million business in Cincinnati.

At the same time, he’s been an NCAA Division I men’s basketball official and works for nine Division I conferences across the United States. That includes the men’s national tournament from 2020 through 2024.He has two daughters, Alexis, 25, and Layla 14.

Olathe schools to pay $259K legal fees over former board candidate’s free speech claim

A judge has ordered the Olathe school district to pay more than $259,000 in former school board candidate Jennifer Gilmore’s attorney fees, in her lawsuit over being removed from a board meeting.

That’s on top of the $472,000 in legal fees the district has spent on the case. Gilmore, a conservative candidate who unsuccessfully ran twice for the school board, filed the federal lawsuit after she was kicked out of a meeting in January 2022 for accusing a former opponent of “buying” her seat.

Last summer, U.S. District Court Judge Holly Teeter threw out most claims brought by Gilmore. But the judge allowed Gilmore’s primary claim to stand, saying that a reasonable jury could conclude her First Amendment rights were violated because she was blocked from speaking due to the views she expressed.

And days before this past November election, a jury did just that, ruling in favor of Gilmore, saying she was prevented from speaking because then-board president Joe Beveridge did not like her views.

Gilmore lost her race for the at-large board seat , with 43.4% of votes. Will Babbit won with 56.5%. Beveridge, who had held the seat, did not seek reelection.

The judge had previously denied Gilmore’s request to pursue damages against the district and school board, so her win in court did not come with a monetary award. The jury awarded her $1 in nominal damages, designed to acknowledge that she was deprived of a federal right.

And the jury did not find that punitive damages should be assessed against Beveridge. In order to find that Beveridge should pay damages to Gilmore, the jury would have needed to agree there was proof he acted with evil motive or intent, or reckless indifference to Gilmore’s rights, according to court documents.

“This ruling should encourage other attorneys to take these kinds of First Amendment cases where no actual damages are claimed in order to vindicate the First Amendment and may it discourage government entities from using tax payer dollars, in this case over $650,000, to punish their political adversaries,” Gilmore’s attorney, Linus Baker, said in an email. “This ruling benefits all citizens from government oppression of free speech.”

After the jury’s decision, Gilmore fought for a higher dollar amount in her legal fees to be covered. The district pushed for a lower amount, partly arguing that Gilmore only saw “limited success” in her case, since most of her claims were dismissed or abandoned.

The judge wrote, “The Court finds that Plaintiff vindicated an important right worthy of fees but her requested fees should be slightly reduced based on some billing issues and on her scattershot approach to parts of the litigation,” finding that $259,000 was reasonable.

The lawsuit stemmed from Gilmore’s first attempt at winning a school board seat, in the fall of 2021, when she campaigned against mask mandates and critical race theory as part of a conservative slate. She lost to Julie Steele in a close race that was called days after election night.

After the loss, Gilmore spoke at a board meeting where she accused Steele’s father, Jim Randall, of lying and buying her board seat. Beveridge cut her off during her comments and called for Gilmore to be removed. Randall is also Beveridge’s father-in-law.

The school board’s public comment rules at the time stated that the board will not hear “personal attacks, or rude or defamatory remarks of any kind about any employee or student of the School District or any person connected with the School District.”

The policy also allowed the board president to interrupt statements that were disruptive or “not germane to the business activities of the board.”

The board adopted a new policy in April 2022, months after Gilmore filed her suit, which still includes a requirement that topics be “germane to the business of the board.” But board rules no longer include the provision about personal attacks or defamatory remarks.

Split Mesa school board abandons student fees for art, CTE classes

Mesa Public Schools will drop fees for art and career and technical education classes starting the 2025-26 school year following a decision that split its governing board members.

"I believe students shouldn't be charged for our courses," board member Joe O'Reilly said during a March 26 meeting. "We get hundreds of millions of dollars. ... We should pay for it."

"We don't ask the science students in a lab to pay for those extra materials," he said. "I don't think we should do that for the arts."

Like other nearby school districts, Mesa Public Schools has charged students fees for its arts and CTE classes for years. Middle school fees are described as "voluntary contributions," while high school fees are required but can be waived due to financial need, according to district spokesperson Jennifer Snyder.

The board approved fees for the 2024-25 school year in November, so the new policy won't take effect until the following school year.

Mesa Public Schools' 2024-25 school year fees for high school CTE classes range from $10 to $30 per semester, while fees for high school art classes range from $10 per year to $45 per semester, with stained glass, jewelry and photography courses as some of the priciest. Some choir, band and dance classes can charge up to $100 in additional fees for things like uniforms, costumes, props and competition costs.

Middle school voluntary contributions for CTE classes are $10 per semester, while those for art classes range from $5 to $15 per semester.

Mesa is not unique in charging students for certain courses. In Scottsdale Unified , most CTE classes cost $25 or $35 per year, while fees for high school art, dance, theater and music classes range from $20 to $60 per year. Gilbert Public Schools charges from $10 per year to $75 per semester for its high school arts classes.

Arizona school leaders: say they were blindsided by decision to withhold funding for low-income students

In Mesa, student fees are used to help augment the resources used in the classroom, said Tracy Yslas, the district's assistant superintendent of teaching and learning, during the March 26 meeting.

"We do supply all the basic materials," Yslas said. "But with our budget allocation in Arizona, it's just not enough."

In some music classes, for example, funds from student fees are used to buy new sheet music so that students don't perform the same music every year, Yslas said.

The district tries to supplement its classroom resources as much as possible, she said, noting that it recently applied for a grant from a $10 million art supplies fund administered by the Department of Education .

Yslas said she worried that if the fees were canceled, the district would have to start limiting elective choices for students.

Mesa Public Schools is the state's largest school district, with a budget of more than half a billion dollars. But the district is shrinking, and it recently announced it will cut 385 teaching, administrative and support positions next school year.

O'Reilly proposed canceling fees as an amendment to a policy that was set to be voted on during the March 26 meeting. He said the fees could present barriers to students who want to take arts and CTE classes.

While course fees won't be charged, the district can still charge for optional course-related activities like trips as long as they are not used to calculate grades and are "above and beyond the scope of the course expectations and activities," according to O'Reilly's amendment.

When O'Reilly was in high school, his parents told him he had to pay for every fee, he said.

"Now I know people can ask the principal for a waiver," he said. "To be honest, I just would have avoided that class, and I think there would be students in Mesa who would do that if they see that there's a charge associated with it."

The option to waive fees is generally communicated to students through school counselors, Superintendent Andi Fourlis said during the meeting.

Board President Marcie Hutchinson expressed concerns that canceling fees would hurt art classes and put teachers in a bind. Art teachers are "barely getting by," she said. "Art supplies are very, very expensive, and they're just getting more expensive."

"For a school where you have a high poverty level, teachers are going out of pocket, and they don't know what they would do without these funds," Hutchinson said.

During the 2022-23 school year, the district collected $428,772 in high school arts and CTE fees and $20,895 at the middle school level, Fourlis said. There were also $62,195 in uncollected fees at the high school level that year, not including waived fees. But Snyder, the district spokesperson, said that many unpaid fees are ultimately collected in 12th grade before students graduate.

Mesa Public Schools dropped its athletic fees in 2014, according to reporting by The Arizona Republic . Today, sports remain free for all students enrolled in the district.

The board voted 3-2 to approve the policy with O'Reilly's amendment to cancel class fees, with Hutchinson and board member Courtney Davis opposed.

O'Reilly said he thinks the board can find ways to reprioritize the district's budget to make up for the loss of fees.

"That was always my intention, that the district would cover that — not that the teachers would experience a cut in resources," O'Reilly said.
