OP here again with a real update!

I just received an email stating I would be credited with the partial refund I had requested.

So glad I did not just stupidly pay their extra $40 per exam they were insisting I owed, and that some posters on here thought I should pay.

I strongly suspect they pull this on every unsuspecting parent to fund their end-of-year party. They sent out a separate email this morning requesting donations for it! Nope, not after this...

Full disclosure: this is the lovely and competent administration at Walter Johnson high school. Maybe they think parents are so rich they can just pay $40 extra per exam to make the problem go away.

HA!!!

Walter Johnson is "charging" students $71 to attend their public school graduation.  When will parents ask where that fee comes from? It's not authorized by the Maryland legislature or the Board of Education. It is a wholly made up fee by the WJHS principal.  $71 is way more than the cost of a cap and gown.

Another example of how the WJHS principal is skimming cash off of parents by extorting money for things that are actually available to all for free under Maryland's public school laws.

There's no charge to attend your own graduation in Maryland public schools. [/quote]
Well, yeah! She really needs that vacay in Bali after these last couple years![/quote]
