[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would people support the idea of choosing some specific enrichment programs for after school and trying to offer those at every ES? Like a coding class, robotics class, art club, drama club, and chess club. That way there would be similar after school programs offered at every ES. I know that our PTA helps to find and pay for these type of activities at our school. I understand that there are fewer of these activities available at the less well off schools, so joint funds to provide the same base after school activities. [/quote]

How will those "clubs" after school help the "poor" kids learn?  What a waste, what those kids are structure, parental support, to learn the fundamentals of math, reading, etc.  No one seems to care that a high percentage of APS students can't even read/read way below grade level, can't do basic math, but hey 20 grand of other parents' hard earned money is sure going to close those gaps.  Why don't you focus on improving instruction at those so called "high need" schools?

Let me know when this stupid PTA thing will become reality, I need to start a private enrichment company so all the parents who stopped joining their PTA can send their kids to my business.
