[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the result of not passing the meals tax.[/quote] No. A pp is right. All families need to have some skin in the game when applying. Otherwise you'd get families applying for bragging rights only and kids who aren't really into the school applying. Other schools require the same transfer fee. This fee is a good thing for the school and for FCPS. And there are many exceptions for free and reduced meal qualifications. I was just reading about a school in NYC that was a work study private school option where they make the families pay $1000 towards the school and help with fundraising and the company the child works for pays the rest of the tuition. The schoolmaster they interviewed specifically said they wanted the families to pay something so they had some stake in making sure the program was a success too. Makes sense to me.[/quote]
