ACLU files suit over school fees

ADVERTISEMENTS

The ACLU filed a suit in Los Angeles Superior Court today claiming the state of California is in violation of its own constitution by allowing school districts to charge fees for art courses, uniforms, textbooks, and in some cases even locks for lockers.

The civil liberties group has named 40 school districts in California that list such fees on their Web sites.  The group contends that such practices discriminate against lower-income children when a public education has been guaranteed to be free by the California Constitution since 1879.
