There is not enough information for me to give you a definitive answer to this question, but I can give you some general advice. From what you say here, it appears that taking a drug class is a suggestion, not a condition of parole. However, if the drug class is a condition of parole, then your boyfriend is clearly violating parole by not taking the class. I can certainly understand that spending this money presents a problem for both of you, so my suggestion would be for your boyfriend to talk to his parole officer about other ways of fulfilling the request or condition,whichever this might be. There are many 12-step programs that do not have this kind of price tag. For example,there is Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous. In both of these groups, contributions are welcomed, but I do not believe they are required.
I am assuming that the parole officer perceives that your boyfriend has a drug problem or that a drug problem is what got him into trouble in the first place. If this is the case, then you should both be willing to do something about the problem, for the sake of yourselves and more importantly, for the sake of the happy and healthy future of your child. Drug addiction does not make for good parenting, and if fixing the problem requires some sacrifices, then you should both make whatever sacrifices are necessary to ensure a better life for all three of you.
