[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been deeply involved in PTO work and it seems clear to me that until they gather a strong base of broad support they are futile. The money Title I shoestring PTOs generate isn’t valuable compared to overall school budgets and the engagement effort isn’t worth it for parents or staff in terms of results for effort. The PTOs are gentrifier bait but they aren’t enough. When demographic info from OSSE have “white students in X elementary school across all grades is less than 10” these parents won’t care about a PTO. All in all - mostly wasted time. Don’t worry about it until a school drops Title I status. Then they can actually do something useful. [/quote]
