Got Vegas Parking Tickets? Pay Them With School Supplies!

There's no shame in having a parking ticket or two. It happens to the best of us! Fortunately, if you have Las Vegas parking tickets that have yet to be paid, the city of Las Vegas is offering unpaid ticket holders the opportunity to give back to students in the community through its School Supplies For Tickets program.

Charitable donations in lieu of ticket payments... How cool is that?! However, this awesome alternative does not apply to every single parking ticket. There is some key information you need to know before trying to pay your super dated parking tickets with pencils and markers.

While the School Supplies For Tickets program will take place through Friday, June 16th, News 3 reports that only "parking tickets issued between May 1 and June 16 may be paid off by donating school supplies of equal or greater value to their fine." So if you've got a ticket that's been sitting for a while, it likely is not eligible to be paid off through the program.

Where should one bring their donations? And where will they ultimately end up? Donations of "all-new, unwrapped school supplies" should be brought to the Parking Services Offices at 350 S. City Parkway in downtown Las Vegas. From there, the 501(c)3 nonprofit connected to the Public Education Foundation, the Teachers Exchange.

Thinking about taking advantage of this fabulous offer? Good choice! The list below includes some of the acceptable items for donation. But remember... They need to be all-new and unwrapped!

One of the most important takeaways from education is that it helps individuals develop critical thinking skills. Personal growth comes from learning which intake helps with gaining more confidence, financial wealth and literary skills.

Nevada is an ever-growing city with a population of just over three million. More people are moving to Las Vegas to give their families a better life. With the American dream in mind, where does education fit into the equation? Education is important to families who want to offer the best for their children and generations to come.

EdWeek.org conducted a comprehensive analysis to find out where states rank in educational opportunities and performance. Their data was configured over three categories which included Chance for Success (January), School Finance (June) and K-12 Achievement (September). The overall grade is the average of the three separate scores.

Nevada finished 50 amongst all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The state scoring earned 68.6 out of 100 possible points. That is the equivalent of a D plus grade average. The country ranked at a C grade average. Find out more about their education research within each category.

Let's be honest, Nevada does not have a great education system ranking but that does not mean that all Vegas schools are bad. Vegas has the 5 largest school district in the United States with the Los Angeles Unified School District taking first place.

GreatSchools.org is a leading non-profit when it comes to research insights and parenting resources. The non-profit gives an insight on "school quality" based on a rating from one to 10. Top-rated schools are considered 10's. Ratings between one to four are looked at as below average. Ratings between five to six indicate average. Ratings seven to 10 are considered above average.

Let's see how Vegas high schools, public and private, are ranked from 10 to one.
