Fee Schedule/Waivers

School Fees and Fee Waivers

Davis School District has adopted school fees, fee waiver (and appeal), and a fee schedule, in accordance with the guidance and rules set forth by the Utah State Board of Education. State Board policy (R277-407) allows for school districts to charge fees to help fund and support school programs & extra-curricular activities. Our local School Board is committed to minimizing the cost of these fees which impact families. 

Each school year the School Fee Committee, consisting of parents, students, and district employees, review these fees each year and propose any changes to the Board for the upcoming school year. 

Building principals (or their assigned assistant principal), have been designated as the administrators of school fees and fee waivers. If a Fee Waiver application is denied, a Fee Waiver Appeal Form may be completed and given to the building principal within ten (10) days of receiving notice of denial. 

Thank you, 

Davis School District Fee Committee
