Jordan board debates fee‑schedule options as April deadline looms; staff will present narrow and wide cost estimates Board members previewed the March–April public‑hearing and decision timeline for a new fee schedule and debated two options: a narrow, low‑cost pathway that ensures fee‑free graduation or a wider approach that would remove fees from all entry‑level courses (staff estimated the wide option could cost roughly $700,000 to $800,000 to backfill).
