Payment+Contracts

Payment and Work Contracts for lost/damaged materials and fines.

The California Education Code states that parents are responsible to pay for lost/damaged materials. A payment plan can be arranged with an administrator's okay.



However, when the parent cannot pay, the student may complete volunteer work for the school in lieu of payment.
