[quote=Anonymous]PTA makes the decision with the school on what they want to fund.  Depending on the amount of money the PTA has, the impact can be great.  Some schools have 100-200k in PTA funds alone.  That could provide a lot for the school that could positively impact test scores.

But most Title 1 schools will not have that sort of money.

Our Title 1 school would be lucky to get 10k a year.  That will fund a host of activities for children and teachers throughout the year and hopefully one larger funded project- like a technology purchase, playground improvement, etc.

Hopefully an active PTA, exciting events for the school, and show of community investment will increase the enrollment/desire for the school.  The goal being to attract and retain families/ teachers that want to continue to improve the School so that it serves them, and the surrounding community. The goal is definitely to improve test scores, of course.  But it is also to meet the needs of the neighborhood community, and that might not always mean test scores are the most important goal.[/quote]
