The Grove in Asfordby Road has no available parking forcing pupils to either get out on a busy main road or parents having to pay up to £6.80 a week.
Melton Council's Rural, Economic and Environmental Affairs Committee (Reea) approved a trial sche
me for parents who have to drive to school to pay £3 a week to use Wilton Road car park for a limited period in the morning and again at the end of the school day.
But Councillor Trevor Moncrieff, a governor at the school and who sits on the committee, felt the cost was too high.
Mr Moncrieff, who could not speak at the meeting because of rules around prejudice, said: "I am pleased members recognised there is a unique problem at the Grove and helped those few parents who need it.
"But I'm a little bit disappointed I wasn't allowed to speak at the meeting and I think £3 a week is too high. It seems the committee considered it on a financial issue rather than the safety of children. As a parent, I know you want to see the kids into the school gates."
Mr Moncrieff added that he felt children should be encouraged to walk to school but he said there will always be occasions when that was not feasible.
He added the school will only give out the permit in exceptional cases which is currently thought to be about 20 children and suggested a flat fee of £50 a year.
At the Reea meeting leader of the council Malise Graham said the system of excluding councillors for personal and prejudicial interests was flawed if it meant the only person who really knew what they were talking about was sent out.
He added: "We have made ourselves unpopular with other decisions so let's do something popular and ease the life of these 20 people."
The success of the year-long trial will be assessed before it is fully implemented.
Speaking after the meeting, chairman Nigel Angrave said: "We need to sort this out and work with the school to look at a permanent solution for this ongoing problem."
