[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do parents get one of the coveted Janney garage parking passes?  A few parents have them.  Are they the "queen bee" volunteers?[/quote]

They buy them at the auction.  $3-4k for a spot.[/quote]

This being a Janney thread, I actually cannot tell if you are serious or this is a joke, people paying ("donating") for these privileges at a public school.

This is not a joke!  [/quote]

Back in the days before the construction, it was possible to buy a reserved parking spot in the teacher parking lot at the annual Mann auction.  I don't remember what it would usually fetch.  I do remember that one year it was won by a family whose kids were always late to school.  It allowed them to pull in at 8:44 and drop their kids off before the second bell without having to waste time circling the block looking for parking.

It is still possible to buy prime reserved seating for the school play, principal for the day, sleepover birthday parties at school hosted by the principal, etc. at the Mann auction.[/quote]

This seems wildly inappropriate, and possibly illegal.[/quote]

And very 1%.  I'm surprised there hasn't been an Occupy Janney movement.  [/quote]
