[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.
[b]What funding pays for this group?[/b]
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]

Who cares where the funding comes from? Do you know how many illegal aliens go montgomery county schools on your taxes?  We have more Asian families in our elementary school and they don't get parent meetings, translators and the like.  It is still only Hispanics that get all the perks.  Otherwise they cry that they are being excluded instead of adjusting and including themselves like every other foreign family does.  Don't bother asking the principal.  It won't make any difference.

With all respect, but the only one crying here is...[/quote]
