The Fees tool itemizes all fees assigned to a person, including totals of how much was charged, how much was paid, and the remaining balance or surplus.

The following table describes all of the fields found on the Fees tool.

Field Name

Description

Unpaid FeesThe total amount that needs to be paid.
Surplus

If more has been paid than has been charged, a positive value appears and indicates the surplus amount available to be applied to later fees. Even after Surplus money is applied to other fees or refunded, you can see deposit and withdrawal details in the Surplus table. The Auto-pay Fees with Surplus Balance District Preference automatically pays any fee from the Surplus.

BalanceThe Balance is the net of all debits minus all credits; e.g., surplus, fee maximum adjustment. A negative account balance indicates the account holder has funds available to pay unpaid fees, while a positive balance indicates the account holder owes money. If the account does not have a surplus or the district does not set fee maximums, the Unpaid Fees and Balance could be the same amount.
YearThe year in which the fees were assigned.
Household Max
Student Max
The Fee Maximums tool sets a cap on the amount of fees a family pays for a school year. This cap can be set for just student fees (applies to fees listed on the Student Fees tool), for just household fees (applies to fees listed on the Household Fees tool) or both.The fee maximums defined in the Fee Maximums tool display in these columns.
