[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]. With restorative justice and the policy not to remove disruptive or dangerous students, this is becoming more important.

The other factor which wasn't addressed but seems to be very apparent in MCCPTA minds is getting access to more parent donations. High poverty schools have low to no PTA interactions, members paying dues to MCCPTA and donating for school activities. By balancing FARMS, MCCPTA is hoping that wealthier parents will open their pocketbooks more and give to them. You can make a case that the experience with POMS, new band uniforms, school dances, and other things that a PTA improves a child's experience in school but there has never been correlation let alone causation to a well funded POMS group and high school performance.

So, the disruptive and dangerous students get moved to the "good schools"? Everyone gets their own share of these students.  Also MCCPTA is basing their decision on hope that wealthier parents will open their pocketbooks more?  Okayyyyyyy.... it'll only take a few years to prove that assumption wrong.  People donate to PTAs when it helps their own kids in some way, not otherwise.[/quote]
