[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have kids at an ES with high-ish fees and I’m not comfortable with them asking for them at all. It only reinforces educational inequalities across the city. If the PTOs want to get together and create a central fund that is distributed across public schools city-wide, cool but that will never happen.[/quote]

I agree with you. It’s gross. It’s the wealthier schools, raising their own little money to make their own little school better if they want more money for schools, they should advocate for more money in the budget or do what you said about equalizing the PTOs. in Montgomery County, the PTO funding is equalized[/quote]

Ummm Montgomery County doesn't equalize PTA funding, it just has clear guidelines on what it can be spent on.  It isn't a slush fund to let the county off the hook for hiring additional staff.  But it can be used for programs and supplies.
