Principal. It is not the pta.
What school is this? I have never heard of a principal demanding that parents pay school dues.
+1
I've heard of a teacher collecting money at the beginning of the year for specific things (field trip I think?).

How big is the ESOL budget at your school? Specials to help kids catch up? That’s where taxpayer dollars are going.

Isn't there are a school fee? We get a line in the weekly email about it, but no one is demanding we pay it. But I mean news flash. Public schools don't get enough money to do all the things they do. So if you have the money donate, if not ignore the request.

So in other words, a bunch of crap.

OP, I'll send your school a check if you promise to STFU about this.

My north Arlington elementary school keeps telling parents to pay their dues. WTH is the PTA fundraiser for?
Dues are for parties , field trips (none this year), supplies (kits we parents already bought last year).
