Yes, beginning in the 2024-25 school year, SPS families who use SchoolPay will be charged a convenience fee. These fees used to be paid for by SPS. This change was made as part of the budget solutions. The SchoolPay fees are not set by SPS and SPS receives no portion of the fees collected.

Families can avoid SchoolPay transaction fees by paying in person. All forms of payment are accepted at the district and school offices.
