Travel fees for sports and other high school extracurricular activities will go up by $300 in the Salt Lake City School District for the 2022-2023 school year.
The increase in costs means students could pay around $1,900 per sport.
“There are families out there that will not ask for help and will go and scrape somehow to find a way to make up for that fee,” said board member Mohamed Baayd. “That’s why I do not feel right voting ‘yes’ for this thing.” The district told FOX 13 News that the $300 jump is to ensure all students have their own bed when traveling. $300 is the maximum fee students can spend, and depending on the trip, it could cost less.
“I really think that this reflects a change that’s good for our students while acknowledging $300 dollars more is not insignificant,” said board president Melissa Ford.“There are resources available,” said district spokeswoman Yandary Chatwin. “We don’t want lack of funds to be a reason that a student doesn’t get to participate.”In the same meeting, the board also appointed a new interim superintendent after Timothy Gadson's resignation.
