Can a public school (in CA) require a parent to pay a specific $ amount in order to fund an academic program? My son is a 7th grader at our local public school and today he brought home a rather threatening letter stating that each parent MUST contribute a specific $$ amount in order to help fund the science department at the school. According to this letter we must pay this $$ amount now or, if we are unable to pay the entire fee now, there is a payment plan available. I am wondering about the leaglity of this, considering it is a public school and this is a regular academic program (i.e. this is my son's regular science class). The letter is chock full of the words "mandatory" and "required" etc. which leads me to believe that I MUST pay this fee. I can afford the fee but i am sure that there are many parents who cannot, and may feel coerced by this letter. Any info on how legal or illegal this may be is grealty appreciated!

Need more info/feedback on a plastic surgeon? I'm having surgery later this year to correct a deviated septum, remove polyps from my nose and sinuses and also cosmetically reduce the size of my nose. I've met with my surgeon twice and checked his references online. He's board certified and has all the proper academic credentials. He also showed me a before and after photo of one of his other patients who had similar surgery. But I feel like I need to do more research or get some more info before I go under the knife with this guy. Any advice/suggestions on what more to ask or look for? LOL, thanks for the compliment (pixiechix), but this IS a medically necessary operation. When you have buildup like this in your nose and sinuses, you have allergy-like symptoms 24/7. It's a drag. And the cosmetic part is something that I've wanted for quite awhile.

Privacy Law/Unauthorized Access Into Academic Records? Just found out that my ex has been getting access to our college age daughters academic records. Not sure if they were provided to him by a third party or if the school provided them directly. I definently suspect that a third party/employee was involved. My ex is required to receive all academic information through the Justice Department because of a claim of risk that is filed against him and his wife. This claim of risk requires the Justice Department to not provide him with any personal info such as my daughters school schedule times, but they do provide her class info and grades. My daughter and I both have been harrassed by both, but denied a protective order because no direct verbal physical threat of violence was made. Does anyone know any privacy laws that may apply to this case. Since my daughter is an adult no one can legally access her private records personally without her consent or a court order. I need to do some research in advance before I seek legal counsel.

How do you use Excel to create random variates of a variable and do simulation to find optimal value(s)? Suppose I have discrete probabilities for four values representing demand, for example .2 that D=5, .3 that D=6, .4 that D=7, and .1 that D=8. What am I actually randomizing? The D values right? So I'd get for example 100 simulations and all 100 each one would have 4 values for D? Or is it that each one would have only one value, either 5, 6, 7, or 8? What would I set as the seed? Do I need to highlight any cells before I do the rand or sim command? After I do the randomization, how do I use that to do the simulation. Does the simulation represent an exemplary data set? Of what? How do I use that info to recommend a level of inventory? I intend to learn these concepts only; this is not an exam question. I am adhering to my uni's academic honesty policies. Thanks in advance; cheers!
