District 220 waives fees for any students whose family is enrolled in the federal free-and-reduced lunch program. The federal program is based on income, poverty level and socioeconomic status, Arnett said.

Families who do not meet the federal qualification but are having a financial hardship can contact the school district to develop an appropriate payment plan, he said.
