First of all, it's none of the other parents' business whether this kid paid or not. That info should not be made public.

Second, you fundraise. How do you think us in Title 1 schools with 80+% Free and reduced lunch pay for our things? We don't price our kids out of band.

Many comments here don't live in the real world, I'm glad you have hundreds of kids who can afford a 4-digit annual band fee, but for the love of Christ, don't punish poor kids for being poor.
