My sister is a minor attending a public high school in Clark County, Nevada. She’s in the choir, and the program is planning a field trip to New York to attend Broadway shows and see the city. The trip costs $*,*, and while it’s not mandatory, students must pay to go. In August, her choir raised funds online for the trip, with any money raised going toward students’ trip costs if they planned to attend. She raised $* but still owes $*,*. She won’t be able to pay in time and hasn’t informed her teacher. The teacher said if she doesn’t pay by the end of the month, she’ll be in debt and won’t be allowed to go, even if she pays later.
Hi Olivia! It sounds like a tricky situation. Here are some points to consider:
- Public schools must provide equal access to educational opportunities.
- Fees for extracurricular activities should not exclude students based on financial hardship.
- The school district may have policies for financial assistance.
Would you like help connecting with local resources or legal aid for more detailed assistance?
IS there a way we can refuse the debt she may be stuck with or prove we never signed paperwork saying she would pay the full money.
Hi Olivia! To address your concern, consider these points:
- Review any documents or agreements you might have signed regarding the trip.
- Check the school district's policy on extracurricular fees and financial assistance.
