[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, $100 per child is the pay for voting in the PA. It goes to the PA which is getting it's own non-profit association status separate from the school. The PA donated all the new playground equipment from these fees and fundraisers so they are broke and need more funds. The other $100? (it's more than that, I don't recall but $140? per child) is the school materials fees that parents pay to the school at the beginning of the year for materials. I don't think if it's the PA who gets the money and buys the materials but I could be wrong. Paying the school materials fee will not get you a vote in the PA. You have to pay the $100 poll tax.[/quote] There's no conspiracy, much less a "poll tax." The new PA dues are the old school supply fee. The school can't ask for supplies, but as an independent organization, the PA can. That's all there is to it.[/quote]
