The School Committee tonight is scheduled to review sports fees for the upcoming year — which it raised 116 percent earlier in the summer — and take a look at new policies regarding the high school day care center.
The rise in fees has caused concern from parents staring at several hundred dollars in new expenses for their children and officials worried about soaring requests for waivers or drops in participation.
Committee members have said they are considering lowering fees for the most expensive sport, hockey, and instituting a cap on the maximum any one family has to pay in fees.
The school day care center, and whether its presence in the high school encourages students to become pregnant, has been a subject of discussion since pregnancies at the high school rose this year.
Superintendent Christopher Farmer is scheduled to present a report on the day care center including new policies for the upcoming year.
The School Committee is scheduled to meet at 7 p.m. in City Hall.
