At the monthly Wabash District #348 school board meeting Monday night, Superintendent Dr. Chuck Bleyer said he found that a fee designated for extra supplies wasn’t going to classroom supplies and instead was going into the district’s general fund….

The fee was $12 for kindergarten students and $7 for students in 1st through 8th grades. Bleyer said the burden on parents is already high enough without having to tack on any more…

In addition to doing away with the extra supplies’ fees, the school board voted to keep fees for the next year at the same level as the current school year.
