Prepare to pay $20 if you get caught parking without a permit at school, says Heather Birge, secretary for the Dean’s office.

That’s a 286 percent increase over parking penalties last year.
A parking permit only costs $5. If you drive everyday, do not take the risk that will cost you $25 to keep parking, Birge says.

The deans have teamed up with the Perry Township Schools Police Department. They are cracking down on issuing tickets to students who don’t display parking permits.

The debt will stay on students’ accounts until they pay their fines. At graduation time, students must pay all debts before they are issued a diploma.
