The private school my mom is the secretary for and that I volunteer with, The Special Needs Schools of Gwinnett has a very similar policy. Except that the fee for not doing your allotted time results in a lower fee (like 50 bucks). I will go ahead and say that parents who work at the school are covered because they are already doing their hours working for the school. If the Woflette's School is like ours (yes I am possesive of these wonderful kids I help out) than you should be fine.
While it seems that the school in question wants to cut costs and replace paid workers with volunteers the reasoning for doing the same at th Special Needs School is different. the aim of our game is to increase the bonds we have tiogether as a group. We really are a family of kindred spirits and go through the same things. It increases the sense of community. There really wasn't too much of a problem until tyhe school started getting a lot of new students because of the new vouchers for special needs children in the state of Georgia (a mell of a hess if you want my opinion on the matter...but that is another rant for another day)
