Open Quote If you're looking to move to the area, beware. The O'Fallon school District 90 has doubled the registration fees for 2014 to 180.00 for K-5 and 200.00 for 6-8 without having any sports/extracurriculars, technology, art, band, etc (cut this year due to budget). There is a "self funded" program for sports... 300.00 for baseball, 360.00 for basketball, 275.00 for cheerleading, etc. The new band program is 125.00 per semester for fifth grade band and 150.00 per semester for sixth through eighth grade band. So, my 12 year old that plays ball and participates in band requires 1160.00 to start school. Not including fees for pt gear, lunches, trips, etc. Just to start. But, I have 3 kids... over 3000.00 to start school. And, the education/instruction has not been what I thought it would be. Definitely not worth the dollars required. They have cut staffing, increased class sizes and now want more money. Not a good combination. There are a few really great teachers, but a lot appear to be "disgruntled employees" (maybe rightfully so). Close Quote
