Legal Question in Education Law in New York

pa rking fees legal on public property?

I live in upstate ny and pay school taxes, my son has just become a senior and gotten his license. As we live within a mile of the school he is a designated walker by our school district, I would like him to be able to drive to school. Now the school is requiring he pay a 15 dollar fee for a parking permit. Is this legal? I already pay taxes for transportation he is not able to use, now it seems they are requiring him to walk as they are prohibiting him from parking without us paying an additional fee. Any advice would be appreciated. thanks.

It is probably ok as an administrative fee. It is one of those types of things that no one can afford to challenge because the fee is so low and not abusive. It's your call but the expense maybe throwing good money after bad.

Congratulations on the soon to be graduating Senior.
