Naperville D203 to expand payment options

October 25, 2013

Naperville Unit District 203 families will soon be able to pay for more programs and fees online.

The school board has approved a new system that will give it a single website where people can use a credit card to pay for things like athletic camps, school lunches, theater tickets and spirit wear.

Currently there is a limited number of items that can be paid for online and those each have separate sites. The new system will be more convenient for both parents and the district, officials said.

The district will charge a convenience fee of $1.95 to cover its costs, but multiple items can be purchased for multiple students in one transaction without that fee going up. Parents also will still be able to use cash or checks for no charge.

District officials will be phasing in the system and could have some online payments ready by the new year.
