Avon Grove’s Student Activities Fee Committee recommended on March 25 that the Board of School Directors consider implementing a pilot program that would require high school students to pay a onetime, $25 annual fee if they participate in one or more interscholastic sports and/or other activities that involve nonacademic interscholastic competition, including cheerleading, the marching band, color guards, and indoor percussion. The fee would be nonrefundable. The Board is scheduled to consider adoption of the student activities fee program at the April 22, 2010, School Board meeting, scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Avon Grove Intermediate School Audion. If approved by the Board, the pilot program would begin in the 2010-2011 school year. >>More.
