In my district in California, we pay $90 for each AP test (for many high-achieving students this can be hundreds of dollars a year). We pay a music participation fee of $150 per student and I am sure there is an athletic fee as well (not applicable to my kids) Of course, each family is expected to contribute $250/year to the donor drive as well. Schools are passing on their costs to keep programs alive.Alison Parkernoreply@blogger.com
