California Code, Education Code - EDC § 8482.6

Every pupil attending a school operating a program pursuant to this article is eligible to participate in the program, subject to program capacity.  A program established pursuant to this article may charge family fees.  Programs that charge family fees shall waive the cost of these fees for pupils who are eligible for free or reduced-price meals, for a child that is a homeless youth, as defined by the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. Sec. 11434a), or for a child who the program knows is in foster care.  A program that charges family fees shall schedule fees on a sliding scale that considers family income and ability to pay.
