| 3. What volunteer
time commitments are required of HERO members?
The parent or guardian is responsible for three
volunteer hours for every one-hour semester class that their student is
registered for. However, there is a "buyout" option
available for the cost of $18 for every one-hour semester class, with a
maximum of 24 hours or $432 per family per semester. All of the
class hours from a family will be added up to determine the total
volunteer hours required of that family. Block classes, such as
3-hour preschool, kindergarten, etc. are considered 3-hour classes.

| 4. What are the financial responsibilities of
HERO members?
A $50 fee per student at the time
of registration. This fee covers facility rentals, insurance,
photocopy costs, equipment, office supplies, and other support related
costs. This is a one time per school year cost.
All classes offered have class fees associated with
them. These fees are collected by HERO and distributed to the
teachers, who are independent contractors for the organization. Some
classes may have additional costs to cover supplies. These
classes are not limited to science and art classes. Many of the
classes have additional charges due to the volume of photocopies this
class requries. |
