[quote=Anonymous]I received a monthly newsletter from our elementary school.  On the calendar, there is listed a "Hispanic Parent Meeting."  There is also a flyer, advertising this meeting as a 'New School Year Celebration with Music, Games, and Resources.  Refreshments served.  Free. ' "information on how you can support your child so that they are prepared for their future"  
Do other schools have a parent group for specific groups?  
Our orientations and pta meetings have Spanish translators, so its not like the Spanish-speaking parents don't have access to the same things and would require their own meeting.
What funding pays for this group?
I know I could ask the principal, and I might eventually, but I didn't feel up for bugging them right now.  
We had a school-wide back to school carnival that cost over $12 per wristband.  I kind of want to go to a free 'celebration,' but we're not of that ethnic group.  If there are Title I funds paying for it, (I think the funds do cover a 'Parent Involvement Committee' which hasn't been announced or met yet) I think it should be available to all families.  
Is that crazy of me to scratch my head a little at this?[/quote]
