extracurricular activites

How much are you paying for your student to play a sport in school? What about the band or any other extracurricular activity?

Recent data shows for every pupil attending school in the Garden State, the state Education Department is spending a record $19,211, but of that total, only $274 goes toward extracurricular activities.

When kids go back to school, many parents spend money for the staples like clothes, backpacks and supplies. But now parents are also shelling out big bucks to keep their kids engaged daily after the end-of-school bell rings.
