What will your student pay in fees for the coming Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) school year? The answer to that question is complicated. It all depends on the grade level and what books, online materials and equipment the student requires for the courses taken.
The HSE School Board passed the fee schedule for the 2021-2022 academic year at Wednesday night’s session. Board member Michelle Fullhart reminded everyone that Indiana is one of only 8 states that charge families these fees.
