| Notice to all Credit Card Holders
A non-refundable convenience fee of $2.50 per transaction will apply to all credit card transactions.
District 225 does not receive any portion of this convenience fee. Unlike a private, for-profit business, the District cannot absorb the discount fee associated with credit card processing as a cost of doing business, or increase fees to all users to cover these costs. Credit card companies charge fees, usually absorbed by the business and factored into the price of the goods or service they charge consumers. Federal law prohibits charging two sets of prices or charging credit card users more for goods and services. District 225 chooses not to have taxpayers subsidize those who use the credit card payment option. Should you choose to use this option, then you will pay for the convenience rather than the District passing the convenience fee along to all taxpayers. We will continue to provide you with the ability to make payments in person or by mail without any fee.
It is our hope that by expanding your payment options we have been better able to serve you.
