[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have kids at an ES with high-ish fees and I’m not comfortable with them asking for them at all. It only reinforces educational inequalities across the city. If the PTOs want to get together and create a central fund that is distributed across public schools city-wide, cool but that will never happen.[/quote] Why would any parent donate to some city wide fund? They want to help their kids school specifically. Of course a city wide fund would be a bust. The money a school PTO raises helps every kid at their school and some help to subsidize activities, clubs, etc.. for low income income families at the school. Also with the PTO helping to offset some things at the school, that leaves admin to use that saved money for other needed school things. Title 1 schools get extra funding from the feds and DC. I’m not saying they get enough but they do get extra funding. [/quote]
