Pay To Park

RHAM High School administration has been discussing the idea of a new pay to park program for next year. A few things have motivated this discussion - one is the budget for next year. Since America has been having economic struggle the administration thinks that the budget that they propose might not be what they get. So having students pay to park might help with the money they need. Also there are not enough parking spots for all the teachers and students who need it, so the students start to take teacher's spots.

The fee will be set somewhere between $50-$200. Also, just like pay to play for sports and clubs, a form must be filled out with some information such as the kind of car, your license plate number, insurance, and contacts in case of emergency. After the students pay they will receive a sticker that can be put on their windshield so that it is easily recognizable by the staff who are monitoring the parking lot.

The staff is going to strictly enforce this new pay to park, and if you take someone's spot that they paid for and you didn't pay you will get towed. This will ensure that the people who have paid the amount will get what they paid for. Also the other worry is that the school needs to make the line between teacher and student parking clearer.
