Prorating Fees
A prorated refund of material and supply fees may be offered to families who move from the District during the school year. Note that transportation fees will not be refunded. Material and supply fees are waived for the remainder of the school year for students who move to the district after May 1.
Nonpayment of Fees
Business Office staff will inform parents/guardians of late fees with at least three letters of delinquency. One final attempt to collect fees will be made via telephone by Business Office staff. Parents/guardians who have not responded to the above attempts will have their names, phone numbers, addresses, and delinquency information forwarded to a collection agency.

Fee Waiver Guidelines & Forms
Deerfield Public School District 109 does not participate in the National School Lunch and Breakfast or milk programs but does ensure that students who require such food programs are provided with meals.
Families qualify for free or reduced meals based on the current USDA Income Eligibility Guidelines.
Families who are not directly certified by the State of Illinois will need to complete the Fee Waiver Application to see if they qualify. One application/form per household needs to be completed each school year. Drop off completed forms to the District Office or email them to Rosa Castillo at rcastillo@dps109.org.
