[quote=Anonymous]I am on the exec board of a Title I PTO. My "campaign speech" was literally: "I don't have time for this, but I will do if no one else is up for it." No one was.

We also aren't trying to "change" our excellent school by making it whiter or wealthier or whatever. Our school is majority low-income and majority students or color and we love it as it is.

We just want to support our amazing principal and teachers with some extra funds raised from the businesses that surround our school and from our ANC. Most of our families don't have the $$ to pay for field trips or donate for things like pizza for the annual picnic. Our principal was paying for that stuff out of her own pocket until we started helping.

In exchange for all this grant writing and letters to local businesses, you want me to sign away my right to lottery should this excellent principal leave and the school go downhill? In exchange for free PreK, which the city's wealthy families can get privately? Sorry, but nope. [/quote]
