It varies from school to school whether Jazz Band is listed as a class or not. McLean's is listed as a class. That caps the fee at $50. If the syllabus, registration information, or course catalog are wrong, they need to be corrected.
Even if it is an activity sponsored by the school, it has to be offered at cost. It can't be a Booster sponsored activity because it involves staff, students, and school equipment.
They need to get it together. Enough is enough. Altering the FCPS template (just who did that? School staff? A Booster?) is pure arrogance. But, looking at the Booster club who tried to control the whole show in the FAQ's, and publicly declared numerous times in some very long diatribes that the state laws and school regulations did not apply to these situations and they knew better, no big surprise on anything. There were some valid points in the FAQ's, but "What do you mean FCPS bills have to be presented on FCPS documents? We want to argue about that." "You can only change your policies annually as per OUR decision." "We only want to have to provide a RESPONSE to FOIA requests in 5 days. [We will give you YOUR records when we are darn good and ready.]" ?!?!?!?!?!?
Come on. Who do you think you are?
It's going to be one hot summer.
