High School Students in Aiken County Have to Pay Fees to Get Lockers
School starts next Monday, August 15, in Aiken County and students in the district’s high schools are learning if they want a locker this year, they now have to pay.
A Silver Bluff High School Facebook post today says, “Lockers will be optional for students. Upon request for a locker, the $5 fee will be individually assessed to the student account. The locker fee has been added, district-wide, to assist with costs of locker repair and upkeep.”
Silver Bluff officials say the school purchases and provides the locks. The locker fee can be paid online using E-funds or in-person at the front office.
After payment has been received, students are to be assigned a locker within 48 hours.
Students who want a locker will have to complete a form and return it to his or her homeroom teacher during the first week of school.
