Has DCPS thought about putting a progressive tax or administrative fee, like 40 or 50 %, on the auction proceeds from JKLM schools? Then DCPS could share the bounty with the schools that are unable to raise their own extra funds.[/quote]

no, because it would be stupid.  jklm school raise a few hundred thousand dollars, which are used to pay for aides, improved technology, and other things that DCPS should pay for but does not.  this is just a tiny fraction of the amount of money that Title 1 schools receive.  if you the amount of money JKLM school receive [u]per pupil [/u] and the amount of money Title 1 schools receive [u]per pupil[/u] you will see that some Title 1 school would receive millions of dollar more than JKLM if they had the same amount of student.  parents' fundrasing at JKLM schools is just a small amount and does not make up for the different.  and the reality is that JKLM parents are already paying a ton of money that goes to Title 1 schools through their taxes, which certainly don't come from poor areas of DC[/quote]
