[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know it's booster-funded, but given the basic needs that we can't meet downcounty, and the obvious fundraising limitations for socioeconomically disadvantaged clusters, it is really difficult to hear that some schools have a surplus in an amount that exceeds what our school has raised, cumulatively, in the past two decades, give or take a thousand.

I agree.

[i]There is nothing inherently wrong with a parent donating even significant sums to a public school to support a child’s education. But when the parents most capable of doing so are clustered at some schools and conspicuously absent at others, the inequities that already heavily affect lower-income children are effectively institutionalized within the public school system. Parents “voting” with school selection or real estate choices have a strong incentive to choose less economic diversity and a better financed education over more diversity, but less ability to support even the basics of a good school.[/i][/quote]
