[quote=Anonymous][quote]DCPS PTAs do not raise money to buy an extra teacher aide in the &gt;homeroom&lt; classroom. They are allowed to fund specialists somehow, like an art teacher.

You are completely wrong. The PTA does fund aides for regular classrooms. My DD is in a class of approx. 22 kids with a teacher and an aide. Take a tour of Key or any other school that does it and you will see for yourself.[/quote]

I'm not saying your DD doesn't have an aide.  I'm saying the PTA doesn't pay her salary and benefits package out of fundraising efforts.

C'mon, don't be an idiot.  A conservative salary/bennies package for an aide is $25,000 annually.   Let's say Key has 2 classrooms for each grade preK-5, so 10 classrooms.

Are you [i]really[/i] going to tell the world that your PTA raises $250,000 every single year to pay the salary and benefits package for an &quot;aide in every classroom&quot; ?  Seriously?

If the Key PTA can raise 250K every single year, it really should go on the development lecture circuit and share that astonishing ability with the rest of the development world.
