District To Credit Payments For Cancelled Events During Pandemic

PLAINFIELD, IL — In a notice on Thursday, April 30, the Plainfield School District 202 announced that it will credit student accounts for fees paid for events canceled because of COVID-19, like field trips and spring athletics.

Credited funds will either be subtracted from any outstanding balance or count towards next year’s school fees. Credits will be posted to accounts by June 19.

Refund checks will be issued only to current seniors or students who move out of the district. Refunds will be postmarked by July 31.

The notice also mentions May 15 as the last day for remote learning that began April 6 when schools in the district had to suspend on-campus classes due to pandemic.

Students who have satisfactorily completed all remote learning assignments will have completed the school year. Teachers may continue to work the week of May 18 with students who have outstanding assignments or "incomplete" grades and require assistance.
