[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not talking PTA donations. You are naive if you think DCPS foots 100% of the bill. Look by way of an example at Mundo Verde's home page. They openly list their corporate and foundation sponsors. You don't think parents have a right to know who is paying for and potentially influencing your child's education? Just trying to figure out why you are ao defensive.[/quote]

Not defensive.  Let me be clearer: I'm not aware of any school that requires every person or entity that makes a donation to publicly identify themselves.  In other words, every school seems to have concluded that parents, in fact, do not have a right to know that information.  If you think that is the wrong approach, explain why.  How exactly would they influence your child's education?  What decisions would these presumably competent school officials make or not make because they are beholden to donors?  And why is it not enough for you to have the right to leave the school if you disagree with those decisions?

MV proves nothing.  I think you are naive if you think MV discloses that info as part as some psuedo FOIA effort.  They do it because the donors want the publicity.
