There is no such thing as a work permit. The only exception to this is if you are not from the US, in which case your parents know how to apply for a work visa (not a "permit"). Businesses can only hire you if you are legal to work in the US. If you are foreign, you must apply for a work visa. If you are legal to work in the US, you must know that many companies have a policy not to hire minors. You will have your best bets at employment at grocery stores. Most jobs historically filled by minors (ie, fast food) are now occupied by illegal workers.

They are looking for a school permit. Go to your principal's office. It's kind of silly for summer work but if you continue into the school year you must have one.
