Additional Discretionary Projects A student may be required to provide materials or to pay for an additional discretionary project if the student chooses a project in lieu of or in addition to a required classroom project. This requirement is not considered a fee. However, the school may not require such an additional project as a condition for enrolling, completing, or receiving the highest possible grade for a course. (Such requirements would result in the project being a fee.) Schools shall avoid allowing high cost additional projects, particularly where authorization of an additional discretionary project results in pressure on a student by teachers or peers to also complete a similar high cost project. Utah Admin. Rules R277-407-3(5) (April 8, 2019) Donations of Supplies to an Elementary School An elementary school or elementary school teacher may compile and provide to a student’s parent a suggested list of student supplies for use during the regular school day so that a parent may furnish, on a voluntary basis, those supplies for student use. Such a list must include and be preceded by the following language: “NOTICE: THE ITEMS ON THIS LIST WILL BE USED DURING THE REGULAR SCHOOL DAY. THEY MAY BE BROUGHT FROM HOME ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS, OTHERWISE, THEY WILL BE FURNISHED BY THE SCHOOL.” Utah Admin. Rules R277-407-3(1)(c), (6) (April 8, 2019) Utah Code § 53G-7-503(2)(b) (2019) Donations For a donation not to be a fee, it must not affect the participation of an individual student. Donations are generally governed by Policy GF. Donations or contributions may be invited on forms provided to parents of students but must clearly state that donations and contributions are voluntary and are not required for participation in an activity or class. Utah Admin. Rules R277-407-7(1) (April 8, 2019) Students and families may be notified that they may voluntarily pay an increased fee amount or provide a donation to cover the costs of other students and families. Any such payments are considered donations and are not fees. In order to accept such payments, schools shall require that the payment be clearly designated as made for the purpose of covering the costs of other students. Utah Admin. Rules R277-407-8(2)(b) (April 8, 2019)
