Parking Plan Is Rebuffed by Teachers

Submitted by Anonymous, Jan 10, 2008 15:02

At the school in my manhattan neighborhood permits are issued to non-teaching drivers. These permit holders have no other involvment with the school other than possession an official parking permit.

Don't ask how I know this to be true because it would be incriminating.

There is an area marked "no parking any time" adjecent to the school. On any school day 10-20 cars park on the sidewalk in this area, and all of them display school issued permits. None that I know of have ever received a parking violation.

How about them apples teachers and administrators?
