Section 5 of Article IX of the state of California Constitution guarantees students a "free public education"
The State Supreme Court concluded in the 1984 case of Hartzell v. Connell, "that all educational activities carried on by public school districts, extra-curricular as well as curricula, must be without cost to the students who participate in such activities." This same ruling found that "mandatory fees for participating in such extra-curricular activities such as drama, music, and athletic competition were illegal under the State Constitution." Furthermore, they also rejected the argument that "fees could be charged so long as the district waived fees for students who were financially unable to pay." Recent proposed legislation includes reimbursement with interest for any illegally-collected fees as well as a district sanction.
La Sección 5 del Artículo IX de la Constitución del estado de California garantiza a los estudiantes una "educación pública gratuita"
La Corte Suprema del Estado concluyó en el caso de 1984 de Hartzell v. Connell, "que todas las actividades educativas realizadas por los distritos escolares públicos, tanto extracurriculares como curriculares, deben ser gratuitas para los estudiantes que participan en tales actividades". Este mismo fallo encontró que "las cuotas obligatorias por participar en actividades extracurriculares tales como teatro, música y competencias atléticas eran ilegales bajo la Constitución del Estado". Además, también rechazaron el argumento de que "se pueden cobrar tarifas siempre que el distrito exima las tarifas para los estudiantes que no pueden pagar financieramente". La legislación propuesta recientemente incluye el reembolso con intereses por cualquier tarifa recaudada ilegalmente, así como una sanción del distrito.
