[quote=Anonymous]Have you heard of PTAs and Boosters? Schools in wealthy areas already have sorted how to funnel as much money as possible back to their wealthy schools. High Schools have Boosters to raise money for athletic and other extracurricular needs and they can raise lots of money. PTAs can do the same. Now…. your school in a less wealthy area cannot raise money this way nor could these areas pay a levy. The point (not always well done) of a large area like MCPS is to offer a quality public education even in less well off areas of the county. Levy’s defeat that point. I am not saying MCPS does not need to do a better job getting money to the right places but that a levy will not fix MCPS. I would like to see more public/private partnerships to pull money into MCPS and in that case yes parents in the area of the school with the need should be able to take the lead in looking for how to get private funds to their public school.
