How about a Mayor Bow$h!T? I agree that the other sounds borderline, but she really is happy to line her purse with money from any and all sources.

Let us know if you do or do not. Would not surprise me at all that it's some kind pf predatory thing outlawed in most places that they're getting away with in DC because someone's uncle is on the payroll.




Considering that Mayor Bowwow wanted to let one of her campaign contributors get $4000 per month, per unit for subsidized housing, that would hardly be surprising.

The Barry administration is back with her!


I know this thread is old but I wish people would stop calling her Mayor Bowwow. It's not much different that the FL governor calling referring to "monkeying up" when talking about his black opponent. You can disagree with her without referring to her as an animal. Leave that low-blow to Roseanne.

Or write a check. Or have your school set up its own PayPal account.


I am all for suggestions, but schools are not going to set up a paypal account just because you want to avoid transaction fees. Who in the school has enough time to manage a paypal account, in addition to all the other demands that are placed on administrators. Given how critical people are of schools, on dcum, it would be a matter of time before someone is anonymously posting how some unnamed school screwed up.

I'm in MD and I am charged $1 or $1.50 per transaction and I think it sucks.

You revived a 3 year old thread for this comment?


Maybe because they don't charge the fees anymore!!

See , I am completely opposed to the residence cheater ranting you do, and yet I wrote that thing about someone's uncle. So why don't you investigate this? Do some freaking good.

I wouldn't swear to it, but it does not look like we pay any fees. If we do, they are really well hidden and did not pop up when I set up a recurring deposit (I certainly wouldn't have done recurring if it had told me there was a fee). And looking at the balance, it doesn't look like any fees have been deducted (the way the screen works, I can't see the balance on the same screen as deposits and purchases, but the math seems to track no deductions). That makes the DCPS thing doubly crazy.


+1 I do manual transfers from my bank account into MySchoolBucks every now and then, as my DD only buys lunch once a week, and there are no fees.
