[quote=Anonymous]"As a Janney parent, I don't think there's a ton of transparency on what is PTA-paid for vs. DCPS-paid for. I say this as someone who doesn't go to PTA meetings (admittedly) so perhaps if I went, I would learn this. But it's not like there's a line item breakdown of where the money goes. I have a general belief that the PTA pays for the extra custodial staff, and the extra staff around during recess (my child reports that the afterschool staff is usually there during recess, and I assume this isn't on DCPS dime). But no clue about who pays for partner/co teachers after"

There actually is a good amount of transparency if you go to the meeting and see the budget, although I haven't paid attention in a few years so I can't answer OP's question. But I can say that except for a few aides in pre-K/K years, I don't know any staff member with "teacher" in his/her title who does not have a B.A. at the very minimum. In fact, how about this. I'll post the bios that are available on the Janney website, which shows that the vast majority of the teachers - whether "co-teacher," "partner teacher" or "teacher - either have or are working on their masters.
