Addressing student fees

Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — After taking a closer look at what they are currently charging students and their families and what the budget could cover, Los Lunas Schools will be removing several student fees in the 2025-26 school year. Acting Superintendent Susan Chavez proposed at the Aug. 20th board work session that fees to be removed should include: a $25 fee for PE uniforms at Los Lunas High School, $15 iPad fees for kindergarten through eighth grade, and the $5 science lab fees. Chavez emphasized if the district can’t afford to cover student fees through local, state and federal funds, then that’s when the fees are assessed for the students.
