The school board discussed possibilities of having discounts for students who play more than one sport or for families with more than one child participating in athletics, but that won't be determined until the next board of trustees meeting on July 22.
In addition to the fee, the board approved a price increase for associated student body cards at Caldwell High School. The card, which students are required to purchase each year to participate in any extra curricular activities, went from $35 to $50 for the upcoming school year.
