I was kind of under the impression that besides school tax, public schools were free...
This school district is getting really bad.
I wish I had "high school locker fees" as my main complaint.
Locker fees were about $15 when I was in high school. Big deal.
What does the money fund?

a lot of school get rid of them, I guess some charge a minor rental fee. With cutbacks everything is becoming pick and choose fees, just like airlines charging for any baggage...

But if it is PUBLIC school, and it is required to carry textbooks around, have them in class, etc., then it only makes sense to provide a place to store them. What if a student "opts out"? Then what?
If extbooks arent required in class, and are either shown via overheads or are available for all students in the classroom, that is one thing. Personally, Id think that lockers on the walls are far cheaper than buying extra textbooks. After the lockers are bought and installed, they cost nothing.

I would sublet the basement of my locker, for $5, to someone who wanted to opt out of the full locker deal.
I never heard of them. I never used my locker in HS anyway, just carried around a huge bookbag.

When grand daughter was in Junior and Senior Highschool she had to pay locker fees for a postage stamp size locker. A medium size jacket and a few books is all that would fit in it. Every time my daughter turned around it was extra fees or the kids were selling something for a fund raiser. We just gave her money for a few things each time because we did not want her knocking on stangers doors.
