Each school district shall, in collaboration with the area director of the department of children and families, develop a plan for the removal of fees associated with public school-sponsored after-school activities that serve as a barrier to participation in said activities by a child who is in the care and custody of the department of children and families. No child in the care and custody of the department may be prevented from participating in a public school-sponsored after-school activity for failure to pay an associated fee.
