  *Per family membership fee to the website company to maintain the website and domain.

Under the umbrella of TEACH, several of our committees also charge a fee to cover the expenses of that department.

*IN ADDITION TO YOUR TEACH MEMBERSHIP FEE*

Elizabethton, Johnson City, and Virtual Co-Ops
 each charge an additional fee per semester per family.
This covers many expenses including the use of their facility, cleaning supplies and educational resources needed to be successful. Every member is a volunteer, no one is paid a salary. All expenses are used to maintain the Co-Op program.

TEACH Athletics charges $35-$75 per student athlete.
This, as well as gate fees and fundraisers, covers the use of the many facilities needed to run a successful athletic program for practices and games. It covers the purchase of uniforms and gear and pays the officials that work the games. All coach staff and Athletic directors are volunteers and no one is paid a salary.

Our smaller committees may charge a minimal fee simply to cover the cost of operation. We are a non-profit organization so all income is designated to an expense.
