Blade article confusion

Update: The story has been updated and the Blade will run a correction in tomorrow's paper.

My response to the question "Do you believe in mandatory parent volunteer hours?" was wrong in the Blade. I said “Can’t and no”. TPS was already in trouble with the State before on this issue. Grove Paterson once had a similar policy. The State auditor said TPS cannot make mandatory volunteer hours because it is considered a form of tuition, TPS had to stop it. There is no way State law will allow us to do this which is why I would oppose any policy.

Other than this it was a good article. Read the rest at:
