St. Charles District 303 board members are studying whether to offer all-day kindergarten on a sliding scale to help ensure that all families that want to can participate in the program.
All-day kindergarten currently has a program fee of $2,025 to offset the cost for the additional half-day of instruction, including personnel costs. The fee is reduced to $90 for families that qualify for a fee waiver.
School board members will discuss the sliding scale proposal at their Business Services Committee meeting on Monday. As proposed, household incomes that are more than 300% of federal poverty guidelines would pay an $1,800 annual fee for all-day kindergarten.

St. Charles Unit District 303 middle school and high school students are set to return to in-person learning five days a week starting next month.
The announcement was made during the school board s Learning and Teaching Committee meeting on Monday. The change is taking place as a result of the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Illinois State Board of Education recently releasing revised public health guidance for schools.

Maintaining 6 feet remains the safest distance, but schools can operate at no less than 3 feet in order to provide in-person learning, stated the Illinois State Board of Education. Unvaccinated staff should maintain 6 feet social distance as much as possible because adults remain more susceptible to infection than children. Strict adherence to social distancing must be maintained when face masks are removed i
