VOTED: to accept the Schedule of Payments as listed on Page 131 and SCHEDULE OF

Official Minutes. )
Dr. Pierson presented a memorandum outlining a proposal for a user USER FEES
fee structure for extracurricular activities, (sports, clubs, field
trips, etc. ) He noted that charging fees for such activities implied
that those programs were expendable when he believed they were import-
ant components of our program and should be considered opportunities
to which students have unrestricted access. Therefore, he felt the
only user fee that he could support would be the introduction of a $25
parking lot fee at Lexington High School for students who drive to
school. He estimated that $7,500 could be raised through this partic-
ular activity.
Krista Johanson, Student Advisory Committee member said she agreed
that the idea of user fees was not a good one. She suggested that the
Committee look for other sources to raise money.
School Committee members debated the pros and cons of user fees.
After a discussion, upon the recommendation of the Superintendent of
Schools, it was
VOTED: to accept the $25 annual parking lot fee for Lexington High
School students in 1987-88. (Newman, Wik, Unanimous)
