There must be some underlying assumptions that are allowed within the community. Why would you stop at school openings? Perhaps people should consult with the community before having children, if they suspect that the children might need a scholarship. Or perhaps you should discuss your 401(k) with the community because if you would trade that for a marginally higher salary, you’d be able to pay marginally more tuition.
Or maybe the school should consult with the parents when they get the principal a fancy swivel chair.
