GC school registration fees to climb

    GRUNDY CENTER — Fees for books, meals and other registration-related fees will be climbing in the Grundy Center Community School District next year.
    Last Wednesday the Grundy Center School Board approved a new fee schedule that will see increased costs for everything from books to driver education.
    Superintendent Cassi Murra presented information to the Board that placed Grundy Center fees at or near the bottom of the North Iowa Cedar League in most areas. She said the last registration fee increase in Grundy Center was at least five years ago, before she was superintendent.
    “We’ve gotten below average, I think we could raise them,” Murra said.
    Fees for books and materials will rise $5, to $55 next year at all levels. Students in other NICL school districts pay anywhere from $30 to $120. The lowest fees were for elementary students at South Tama and Wapsie Valley elementary schools while the high number was for middle school and high school students in Hudson. According to the data provided to the Board, Grundy Center is the only district in the NICL that charges the same book fees to students in all grade levels.
