Fees

Iowa Code section 301.1 authorizes school districts to collect a rental fee for textbooks, including electronic textbooks, and supplementary instructional materials which convey information to the student or otherwise contribute to the learning process. The school district charges fees for certain items, such as textbook rental and pay-to-ride transportation services. Students whose families meet the income guidelines for free and reduced price lunch, from Food Assistance (FA), the Family Investment Program (FIP), another DHS assistance program,or students who are in foster care, are eligible to have their student fees waived or partially waived. Also children who meet the definition of homeless, runaway or migrant are eligible for fully or partially waived fees. A family must annually complete the waiver of confidentiality form and return to the Ankeny School Nutrition Services program. This waiver does not carry over from year-to-year.
