[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC attends an elementary school in MCPS.  We have the means to donate money to the school and I feel our PTA poorly manages the money.  Can my MCPS school receive a donation from our family where we earmark the purpose of the money?

Examples could include scholarship for teachers to attend continuing Ed, or a buddy bench or new sports equipment for the gym.  Nothing big, but meaningful things to us.

That’s untrue.

Our Focus school doesn’t have enough money for teachers to buy basic items for their classroom.  Teachers have to solicit parents for EVERYTHING - dry erase markers, highlighters, pens, books, tissues, Lysol wipes, hand soap, headphones, everything and anything you can imagine.

We’re not wealthy (if we were, we’d live in a better cluster), but we always send in extra donations.  I guess that’s why MCPS is pushing for ‘diversity’ bussing.  MCPS can’t even afford to provide classroom basics for its students.  So you need the diversity of incomes to have parents who can afford to pick up the slack.  [/quote]
