Board Reinstates Driver Ed Fee Refunds for 1981-82
The College Community Schools board voted 5-2 to reimburse driver education fees paid by about 100 to 130 students last summer after an attorney general opinion deemed the charges improper during the regular school year. The refund stems from last year’s policy and a rescinded opinion, with future courses not charged this summer. The meeting also set textbook and activity fee levels for 1982-83 and awarded an $8,700 elevator contract for the junior high to Kleiman Construction.
