  Frequently Asked Questions
(revised 8/15/11)

 Thank you for your interest in obtaining a student parking permit at Hollis/Brookline High School.  Please find answers to frequently asked questions regarding this process.   

 What is the cost of the student parking permit?

 A charge of $40.00 per year will be assessed to students who qualify at the beginning of the school year. If you purchase a parking pass second semester you will be charged $20. 

 What happens if my parking permit is lost?

A lost parking permit will cost $5.00 to replace. 

 Why are parking permits needed at the high school?

There are two primary reasons for the establishment of a parking permit process at the high school.  First, the high school has reached its capacity for accommodating student parking.  It is no longer possible to accommodate every student vehicle in the high school parking lot.  Second, the safety and security of the students and their vehicles is enhanced.

 How is the money raised to be spent?

The money raised will go to offset the cost of the permits and to the purchase of outside cameras and security monitors.  This will improve the security of our students, staff and their vehicles.  Money raised will also go to offset the costs of improving the parking areas throughout the campus.

 Can I use the permit that I purchased last year?

Permits purchased last year are now expired.  All students will need to purchase new parking permits each school year.   

 Where do I obtain a parking permit application?

Applications are available in the main office at the high school or can be printed from the school’s web site.

 When can students register vehicles?

 What happens if I drive more than one car?

Students will be issued permits that hang from their rear view mirror and may be moved from car to car.  They are not transferable to other student’s vehicles.

 What happens if I fail to obtain a permit?

The front parking lot and top gravel lot near the practice field are reserved for staff and visitors, the rear lot for some staff and students.  Staff will be issued their own parking permits.  Cars that park without a permit may be subject to towing. Parking for students without permits is available at the lower baseball field in the front of the school. 

             Can sophomore students park a vehicle on school property.

Permits are issued to seniors first, followed by juniors.  Sophomores and others may park at the baseball field without a permit.  This is a two-minute walk into the building, and drivers should plan accordingly in order to arrive to their class by 7:15 a.m.

What happens if I get a different car because my car breaks down or is sold?

Your permit may be transferred from car to car.  Students who change cars should report their new car to the main office to be registered.

             Will this be tied to my GPA or discipline record?

School discipline infractions, particularly those related to the parking lot or motor vehicles, could result in the suspension of parking privileges.  A student’s grades or GPA will not affect parking privileges at this time; if this changes, students will be notified in advance.
