Middle school students being charged $1 to attend a pep rally?
Has anyone ever heard of this? Deerpark Middle School, a Title 1 school, is charging students a $1 each to attend a pep rally during school hours. I’ve have never heard of anything like this. Is this normal? What about kids who are on free/reduced lunch? Are they blocked from attending if they don’t pay up? I realize that it’s “just a dollar,” but I’m having a tough time reconciling this in my head. Somebody help me out.
