[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The county has strict rules about what parents/booster clubs can provide. My kids are at a wealthy school and we can buy things like promethean boards, security cameras, sports equipment, etc. We can't add staff, hire coaches, or anything like that. I don't think a scoreboard will improve the performance of the Churchill teams. And it means that the county doesn't have to pay for a scoreboard and can use that money for other schools.

Our sports booster club raises a lot of money from the concession stand,  which is run and staffed entirely by parents. I go to other schools for events and their concession stand isn't open.  [b]So some of you complainers may want to take the lead and organize concessions sales. [/b][/quote]

I would be willing to bet that there are a higher percentage of SAH parents available for volunteering at Churchill events compared to other DCC schools. Part of the reason there is less parent involvement at more economically disadvantaged schools is because the parents are often working long hours or multiple jobs. Not saying that the working parents at Churchill don't work hard, just saying that lower paying jobs tend to be less flexible when it comes to work schedules.[/quote]

Could be, although the parents seem to show up for games so they've got some flexibility. I work full time, travel heavily, and have spent hours working in concessions. [/quote]
