Goshen Community Schools

Due to recent legislation changes at the state level, schools are no longer able to charge parents for curricular material rental (CMR) fees.  The state will fund a portion of these costs per student.  This will be a great benefit to families but will leave the financial responsibility on the school to fund the remaining portion that is not covered by the state allowance per student.  Therefore, along with other area school systems, we are asking parents to help provide some of these items that are not covered by CMR.  If you are not able to do so, please contact your building principals for assistance.
