The School District of Greenville County is authorized to charge and collect matriculation and incidental fees from pupils to help pay the costs of items used by students including, but not limited to, textbooks, school supplies, and special courses, programs, or activities in which the student participates provided that the fee is not greater than the cost of the materials or program the student is procuring.
