Abstract: This study reviews state constitutions, state statutes, and court cases where school fees have been the major issue to determine the extent to which school fees can be charged despite requirements for free public schools. The following questions were proposed: 1. What states maintain constitutional provisions for free public education? 2. What are the statutory provisions for each of the fifty states and the District of Columbia which specifically permit or prohibit school fees? 3. What types of fees are specifically permitted or prohibited? 4. What have been the decisions of courts where fees for tuition, matriculation, incidentals, and textbooks or other instructional materials have been the issue? 5. Can any specific trends be determined from the review of the court cases?
