[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many wealthy school PTSA’s have foundations as well, funded by family contributions. Schools with less wealth certainly don’t have those and barely have PTSA’s. Some high schools have long-standing booster clubs with a lot of support. Others do not. [/quote]

Yes the PTA variability is wild to me and I'm sure I don't even know the half of it.  We were at a Title I elementary school and the PTA was very small, very low budget.  We moved and are at a nearby ES (still downcounty) and the PTA is huge with a lot of participation and great fundraising.  Relatedly, I'm still sorry this boundary study did not include elementary schools.[/quote]

Most PTAs in West County do not raise that much money. Yes, volunteerism is high. It’s easy to walk down the street to school and meet your neighbors. Is that what you want to take away? That is evil.

My kid attended the magnet program at Blair. I did not volunteer as it was too far away. At my childrens’ elementary school I was on the board of the PTA for 10 years. It was convenient to go to school events. [/quote]
