Fees Going Up At Ottawa Elementary Schools

The cost of attending elementary school in Ottawa is going up.

The school board this week approved fee increases for the 2011-2012 school year.  Fees for supplies and technology are going up five dollars while activity fees will cost two dollars more.  Cafeteria prices are going up a nickel and students will now have to buy their own planners for six dollars.  Parent-teacher organizations used to pay for the planners.

Superintendent Craig Doster says the district fees haven’t gone up in two years.
