[Adopted 5-1-2001 by Ord. No. 2678 (Ch. 141 of the 1978 Code)]
The purpose of this article is to establish in ordinance form tuition and fees to be charged by the Public Affairs Department for the kindergarten and extended day child-care program.
The kindergarten programs shall begin at 11:20 a.m. or such other time as may be hereafter set by the Public Affairs Director and shall end at either 3:20 p.m. or 6:00 p.m. or such other time as may be hereafter set by the Director. The extended day-care program shall be divided into morning and afternoon sessions. The morning session shall begin at 7:30 a.m. or such other time as may be hereafter set by the Public Affairs Director and shall end at 8:30 a.m. or such other time as may be hereafter set by the Director. The afternoon session shall begin at 3:20 p.m. or such other time as may be hereafter set by the Director and shall end at 6:00 p.m. or such other time as may be hereafter set by the Director.
The amount of all tuitions and fees will be set by the Public Affairs Director on a yearly basis and placed into the minutes at an open meeting of the Board of Commissioners. The Public Affairs Director will establish the amount of tuition to be charged for the first child of a family enrolled in the program and the reduced tuition for the second and third child enrolled at the same time and from the same family.
Tuition must be received by the 10th of each month. If the tuition is not received in full by the 10th day, a late-payment fee will be charged. If a child in the kindergarten program is not picked up by 3:20 p.m. or if a child in the extended day program is not picked up by 6:00 p.m., a late pickup fee will be charged. If any check for payment does not clear the bank, a returned check fee will be charged.
Christmas week, winter break and summer programs are separate programs from the yearly program and a separate tuition will be charged.
