[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not in Fairfax county but that seems to defeat the purpose of PUBLIC education.[/quote]

So does the after school club and activity fee; curricular band, orchestra and art fees; the fee to take the PSAT as a junior; the new fees for APs over a certain number; the fee for PE uniforms, and the whole host of other mandatory fees I write checks for each year. [/quote]

I think these are a little different than asking for a consideration to attend a public school which is what application is. [/quote]

Well, it’s the same across FCPS.  As of 2017, you have to pay a $100 “processing” fee to apply for AP/IB transfer, language transfer, senior status transfer, to go to the ES magnet schools or immersion, etc.

Why is this okay, but asking TJ applicants to help defray the cost of taking the test and applying not?

I would think people would be pissed if language immersion and AP/IB had to pay the fee, and a TJ applicants did not. Especially since the fee is waived for FARMs in both cases.
