[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the replies. OP here and no I'm not a troll, I was seriously wondering about this because CMI is inviting people through a public listserv. It seems more private school than public. I think our DCPS is about 1/4 at-risk and 50% FARMs. I just can't see charging a price at the door to our community, but I'm hearing from you guys that some DCPS and charters just have completely different demographics. As I said earlier, we raise decent enough funds while being inclusive, at least that's what we feel we're doing by not charging admission, having low- or no-cost food, drinks. [/quote] And $20,000 may be a great return for your school -- which gets more per student than charters (how much more is a topic of debate that isn't relevant to this thread). Most charters are trying to raise at least $50,000 with these events. Even with donated food and space, you make most of your money at the door. [/quote]
