Brunswick Co. Schools raising drivers ed fees

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — Drivers education fees are going up $20 for students in Brunswick County.

The Brunswick County Board of Education voted Tuesday night to increase the rate from $45 to $65.

The increase is due to a reduction of state driver’s education funds and the increase of personnel to address the backlog of students waiting to take the class.  The change is permissible under state law.
