Proforma invoice vs school fee invoice: Which one to pay?

Dear Sir/Madam,

The school where my children attend recently requested that I pay a proforma invoice for the entire year's school fees. However, the proforma invoice and the school fee invoice display two different amounts.

Is a proforma invoice a demand for payment? And am I legally obligated to pay a proforma invoice, or the school fees invoice?

Dear questioner,

Schools may not require parents to pay more than approved by the department or collect fees for the entire academic year at once.

You are legally required to bill school fees.
