Requesting Repair Costs
Repairs are made by an external vendor, and the district is invoiced after the fact. As a result, repair costs may not be immediately known or available. Repair costs can be requested by contacting [email protected] (Main Campus), [email protected] (Freshman Campus), or [email protected] (Main Campus), [email protected] (Freshman Campus). If there is a difference between the actual cost of repair and the fine paid by the family, a refund will be issued by the school bookkeeper [email protected]
Paying Fines
Fines are due at the time they are assessed. Fines are to be paid using SchoolPay.
Payment Plans
If unable to pay the fine in full at the time assessed, please contact [email protected] (Main Campus), [email protected] (Freshman Campus), for needs-based payment plan options. All financial obligations must be settled by graduation or withdrawal from school, whichever comes first.
Disputing Fines
If you would like to dispute a fine that has been assessed, contact [email protected] (Main Campus), or [email protected] (Freshman Campus) in writing. Fines are assessed at the district level for all device damage and loss. The school cannot remove any device fines.
If a device submitted for repair was entered in error or the damage ends up being a warranty claim, the fine may be reversed after the fact.
The school cannot predetermine the device will be a warranty issue.
Fine Duration and Portability
Fines which are not paid in full by the end of the school year, roll forward to the following school year until graduation. Fines are connected to a student not to a school. When students move between schools, fines convey between schools.
