The average parking ticket in Las Vegas will run people around $50 so not only will the new system help to make sure that children have the school supplies they need it will allow people to see exactly where their money is going.
All supplies received by the city through the program will be donated to the Teachers Exchange, a nonprofit associated with the Public Education Foundation.
I think this is an absolutely great idea and one I wouldn't mind seeing put into place in Ireland.
A lot of teachers spend their own money on school supplies for their classroom as school budgets often don't stretch far enough so these donations will go along way in making sure that children in the Nevada city are getting the best education possible.
This isn't only a problem in the States as I've known Irish teachers who have had to foot the bill for classroom supplies themselves.
That's why I think something like this would go a long way in Ireland.
It's also a great way to make sure no child is without the school essentials like pens, pencils and notebooks that they need, saving them from feeling left out or embarrassed.
All children have the right to a good education and I think this new plan is a great step in the right direction for Las Vegas.
