Wetaskiwin Regional Public Schools has eliminated basic school fees (sometimes known as ‘resource fees’) as required under Bill 1 – An Act to Reduce School Fees. However, not all fees have been eliminated. Fees still apply to some students under certain circumstances.
Under Bill 1, schools can no longer charge:
- Fees for Basic Instruction Supplies: Fees charged to all students within a school or grade for basic classroom supplies such as textbooks, workbooks, photocopying, paper, etc.
