I'm not sure this is legal.....what do you think?

From my understanding, this is quite common. It's usually set up as, "we'll give you this much of a discount if you do this much volunteer work," instead of how your school set it up.

Oh, lots of our area's private schools offer work/tuition reduction programs, but this is just outright extortion of time/money. They're requiring full tuition and time volunteerism, with an economic penalty if it isn't completed. Total merde, and the idiots who first proposed this scheme should go back to school themselves. I volunteered a lot when Tori was in public school, but I damn sure wouldn't have if they had pulled this crap on me. It isn't volunteering if it's forced.
