Students eligible for the free or reduced-price lunch program qualify for the fee waiver, as do students whose parent(s)/guardian(s) are on active military duty or deployment. Fees will be waived at the time of approve of the free or reduced-price lunch application. No additional application is required.

If the student does not qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the parent may submit an Application for Fee Waiver (English / Spanish). A detailed explanation of family circumstances and documentation is required. Factors that are considered include:

• illness in the family;
• unusual expenses resulting from circumstances such as fire, flood, or storm damage;
• seasonal employment; or
• other emergency situations.

Students eligible under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act will have fees waived. Please contact Alicia Corrigan at 847-963-3152 or corrigaa@ccsd15.net if you have questions about or believe that your family may qualify for services under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act.
