COIMBATORE: Members of the CBSE Schools Management Association recently petitioned the state government, pressing demands including advising parents to pay fees, reimbursement of tuition fees for students who were admitted through 25% reservation of rights to education (RTE) Act and wavier of road tax and electricity bills.
The members requested the state government to advise parents to pay fees as per the high court direction as they have to pay their staff.
They requested the government to provide temporary overdraft facilities during the lockdown period.
It would be repaid once the situation is normal, the petition said.
They also urged the government to release reimbursement of school fees for students admitted through RTE reservation.
At this juncture, the fund would be very helpful to the schools, they said.
Electricity charges should be adjusted from March against the security deposit.
As school buses are not operated, the members also sought a waiver of road tax.
