[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For new Breakthrough families, how much fundraising should they expect to see in the first year? Will there be a lot of pressure to bring in extra funds since they're starting from scratch?[/quote]

It was not discussed on Sunday, though I imagine it'll be discussed during the volunteer meeting in June.

Charters do not expect families to do significant fund-raising.  That's not the business model or the goal.  What can be said, is that the schools which have parents who happen to be good a fundraising (whether via grants or events) not surprisingly happen to be schools with a demographic that skews towards the well-educated and higher SES.  Examples:  Two Rivers, Yu Ying, LAMB, Mundo Verde, CMI, Washington Latin.  None of those schools *expect* families to fundraise and their success doesn't depend on it.  However, there is something in their secret sauce of curriculum and programming that manages to attract parents who can help significantly in that regard to raise the school's profile and raise money.

Fundraisers are another way to transmit the exclusivity (or lack thereof) of your enclave.[/quote]
