[quote=Anonymous]That the school should collect the fees was a proposal introduced at one of the PA meetings the first year of the schools existence by PARENTS.  Personally, I would love to see the fees be more and cover teacher gifts because 1) I really hate writing lots of checks and 2) I think that all the teachers should get the same amount (based on what I see the younger grades have more wealth than the 4th grade class and the teachers work equally, if not harder in the upper grades).  Also, if you have ever had to buy from a school list and have gone to 4 stores trying to find some item then you know that this is a far better process and probably costs about the same.

As one of the previous posters mentioned, the bus is completely parent organized.  The school has absolutely no involvement in choosing the provider or setting the prices and all the money goes directly to the bus company.

Tying the PA dues to the voting process probably will have no impact.  The parents who come to the PA meetings and are interested in voting are the same ones who don't complain about the $100 fee.  [/quote]
