Her research seemed very superficial. We already know that school performance is strongly connected with SES. That is hardly a surprise. I think rather than blaming the Janney PTA, we should hold the mayor and DCPS accountable for not doing more to improve all schools. Janney, Mann and Lafayette sharing their PTA funds with poorer schools will hardly improve our district schools. DCPS funding needs to be more transparent. No one knows who is getting more money and also extra programs from DCPS and OSSE. It is a very opaque system and I suppose the mayor and DCPS want to keep it that way.
DCPS actually releases a lot of data about its budget by school, and its clear to see who is getting what. Ask someone on your school's LSAT if you are confused. http://dcpsdatacenter.com/fy18_initial.html
