[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 [b]if they want more money for schools, they should advocate for more money in the budget[/b] or do what you said about equalizing the PTOs. in Montgomery County, the PTO funding is equalized[/quote] Have you been to a DCPS budget hearing at the City Council? You'd find that a disproportionate number of people testifying are from the more affluent schools. [/quote]
