OGDEN — Yolanda Valdez said daughter Annissia was excited about her May 22 graduation ceremony from Ogden High School until late last month, when she was presented with a bill.
Valdez said she got a letter April 28 informing her that Annissia needed to pay $425 in “attendance credit loss” fees in order to receive her diploma at graduation. Valdez said the other option given was that Annissia could work off fees through community service, but Valdez said there’s not enough time to do that before the ceremony.
All graduating students get diplomas, Valdez was told, but only those whose fees have been cleared can walk at commencement.
