2009/10 District 728
ECFE/Discovery Learning Sliding Fee Scale

The sliding fee scale applies to all ECFE and Discovery Learning preschool and classes. Please note, fees can be waived or reduced at any income level if family circumstances would make payment a hardship. Call the ECFE office at 763 241-3524 if you have any questions about the fee scale or fee waivers. A request form for fee reduction or waiver is available in the ECFE office. Any information collected is confidential. Our goal is to provide affordable, quality programming for all District 728 families.

If your yearly income for household size is at or below the figure listed, fee for the class will be reduced to the amount listed at the top of the column. If your gross yearly household income exceeds the highest amount listed for your family size you would pay the full fee for ECFE/Discovery Classes.
