[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does this strike anyone else as absurd and risky? I understand that they may have gotten stiffed in the past by bounced checks for this end of the year trip to Six Flags--but then set it up where you pay online. Or give each child a receipt after they pay. I can't believe they expect 800 or so parents to hand a teacher or some office admin $60 in cash and say--"have fun at the park!" I really wish that Deal could [u][i][b]modernize this permission slip nonsense and get it all online with PDF sign offs and digital pay[/b][/i][/u]. [/quote]

This is such an excellent idea.  [/quote]

Yes, the [i]idea[/i] makes sense. So... Who is going to set it up, reconcile with confidential DCPS data or separate school directory database, monitor the system, yada yadda yadda? The front office with shrinking staff and resources?

In the hierarchy of need in DCPS, this would rank where exactly? How about we start with more funding for [u]educational [/u]field trip transportation.
