Family Max Textbook Fees
Family Max – Does My Family Qualify?
**The MOST a family must pay for text book fees is $150 regardless of the number of students in the family.
**Add up your family’s total text book fees ($35 for each K-6 student, $70 for each 7-12 student).
**If that total adds up to more than $150 then your family qualifies for family max.
EXAMPLES
Family #1 – Family Max (LARGER family)
-1 3rd grader ($35), 1 5th grader ($35), 1 7th grader ($70), 1 9th grader ($70)
-TOTAL = 35 + 35 + 70 + 70 = $210.
-This family would only pay the family max of $150.
Family #2 – NOT Family Max (SMALLER family)
-1 5th grader ($35), 1 9th grader ($70)
-TOTAL = 35 + 70 = $105.
-This family would pay $105.
