A PTSA sponsorship form for the Lawton Chiles Middle Academy in Lakeland, Fla. was sent out to the students' parents to raise money for the school but one offer stuck out. The form stated that a $100 donation would grant the donor a “last name or company logo feature on the website, as well as PTSA events AND front of the lunch line pass,” according to ABC Action News.
"(The PTSA) which operates independently from the school financially, however, cannot make school decisions without the principal's approval," Brian Andrews, principal of the school, told Fox News. "Parents run the organization. They are all volunteers and any money they generate benefits the students and school."
Parents claimed the school of “cafeteria classism,” according to ABC Action News.
