These include home education students, Personalized Education Program (PEP) students, charter school students, approved alternative/special school students, private school students, virtual school students, and traditional public school students.

This fee is mandatory and applies uniformly throughout Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS).
This is required for all MDCPS Senior High Schools
The $400 fee may not be waived or reduced.
No private school or PEP student is exempt.
Students who have already begun participating in a fall sport or qualifying activity must also be assessed the fee.
The fee must be collected for each sport or qualifying activity in which the student participates.
