Dear Loudoun County Board of Education and Administration,
Loudoun County Public School's parking fee is too much! Everyone understands that schools are tight on cash. However, leeching money out of the students to make money is completely unacceptable. A $200 fee for an empty parking lot is too much! For many students, buses come very late in the morning and students have after school activities, leaving them no option but to drive.Why should LCPS students pay for the option to drive because of lackluster bus services? From a student's viewpoint, they are suffering from both options: the bus services are poor and LCPS is preventing students from parking their cars.
The Board of Directors say, "It is a privilege to park your car, not a right." That is true, but in the same way sitting in the cafeteria is a "privilege". Our parent's tax dollars built these schools and parking lots, why should we pay a fee to access them? If LCPS is tight on cash, it should make the parking fee $25-$50 or a more reasonable price. Not only will that encourage more students to buy a parking ticket, but also be a more just and fair fee for students. At the very least, Loudoun County should consult both parents and students before assigning expensive and unnecessary fees. Sign the petition so we can bring a normal and reasonable fee for students!

I don't mind paying for a parking pass but 200-250 is way to much especially for high school students I believe that the price should be reduced dramatically.
My parents already pay way too much in taxes for this county. Paying another 200 bucks just to park at school is a total joke.
Absolutely outrageous and ridiculous. Yall are seriously charging 200 dollars to park in a public school parking lot. What cheap assessment you are
Making parking cost $200 when not even half the lot is full...makes total sense.
instead of everyone paying $200 I will pay for everyone 7039647400 call me here I'll make arrangements.
Come on LCPS

I have to share a parking pass with my neighbor because it wasn't in our price range to get our own. Now we struggle because we both work and do extracurricular activities at different times. If the parking passes were less money we would have been able to get our own spots and not have to worry about being late to anything. Also, we are both seniors and didn't get the chance to get a senior parking pass. We've waited 3 years to be able to park in the front and even that was taken away from us. It's completely unfair. I've heard of students that are forced to park in the Bram. shopping center and in random neighborhoods because neither they nor their parents could spend $200 for a small piece of cement. It's too late for me now but the price NEEDS to be lowered for future students
