Did you think MoCo students are constitutionally guaranteed a free education?
Wrong again. Even with a new school superintendent, Joshua Starr, at its helm, Montgomery County Board of Education continues to approve certain educational fees.
Just in time for back to school on Monday, August 29, here is the annual back to school fees list for high school students.

New this year? A list of fees approved for middle school students will be posted separately.
So what is a parent or guardian to do? Ask for a waiver. You don't need to demonstrate need, just ask. According to Brian Edward's cover letter in the attachment, no child is denied an educational opportunity because fees are not submitted.
And if you do pay the fees, do so as a donation to the school, not because you feel bullied by the school system.
