Clear Parking Tickets, Fuel Classrooms | Durham News

Greensboro’s got a wild new twist on parking tickets: pay your debt by donating school supplies. The city’s police department revived this program, collecting over $6K in pens, notebooks, and pencils last year — all to help teachers who spend an average of $1,600 annually out of pocket on classroom essentials. Donated items head to a central warehouse where educators can grab what they need for free. It’s a smart, community-driven win that turns fines into fuel for learning — no cash needed, just crayons and compassion.
