This is usually the threat, at all high schools, for non-payment of fees. Not sure if it's ever enforced, though.
No it is not . Very inequitable.
Can you imagine the headline. Students denied graduation over an overdue library book or a $5 fee.
It happens. It doesn’t make headlines, but it does occur.
And can you imagine being so irresponsible that you can’t even pay back $5.00 or return an overdue library book. And don’t tell me a single student in the county can’t afford to pay back five dollars. That’s a Starbucks drink, a fast food order.
If you meant a single student at BCC, you’re right. If you meant a single student in MCPS, you’re an idiot. MCPS students are homeless - where do you think they are supposed to get $5?
Maybe you can donate a few hundred to the school to pay for lost ids.

If you are truly a homeless student, whose parents cannot scrounge up five dollars in order for their kids to graduate then those students should get a pass for five dollars. The school counselors can help with the resources for this.
Call me jaded. Every single person in the county can find five dollars for their children to graduate.
Teens can also get jobs and work.

Everyone gets one free id. It's not inequitable. The fee is if you lose it.

They have fee waivers or they will learn to not lose their ID. Stop using kids as excuses to not have safety in schools. They also can use their phones for an ID.

Anonymous wrote:The ID checks at the door are NOT new. If the article says that, it is wrong. As others stated earlier, the only new thing is what happens when a kid forgets their picture id. Before today, they could go to the front desk and get a temporary one, which didn't have a photo. As of today, they have to get a new picture one at the front desk and pay $5 for it. That is the only new thing. No impact -- none -- on staffing at the door
Look at the article. The school is saying it is new they have the tweet from bcc embedded
