Rule 281-33.5 - Waiver of fees and charges encouraged

(1) If a child or youth is determined to be homeless as defined by these rules, and is not otherwise eligible for a waiver of fees under 281-Chapter 18, a school district is encouraged, subject to state law, to waive any fees or charges that would present a barrier to the enrollment or transfer of the child or youth, such as fees or charges for textbooks, supplies, or activities.

(2) A homeless child or youth, or the parent or guardian of a homeless child or youth, who believes a school district has denied the child or youth entry to or continuance of an education in the district on the basis that mandatory fees cannot be paid may appeal to the department of education using the dispute resolution mechanism in rule 281-33.8 (256).
