[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are a completely separate non profit if they get approval from the IRS, but that's no different than the Lafayette HSA.

If they are going to meet in YY's building and use YY's resources (email lists, copying, place flyers in student backpacks, etc...) they aren't "completely" separate.

The fact that this school needs it's own nonprofit for the Parents speaks to how dysfunctional the place is. All the other charters manage to do this without forming another nonprofit.

How is it dysfunctional? YY parents want control over the money they raise to support the school. Its pretty simple. With all the financial mismangement of PAs, PTAs, in both DCPS and at other charter schools with poor financial controls, I think it is a smart move.

Read the paper and look at all the examples of stealing at both DCPS and charter schools.  Money stolen in grants, money stolen from school fundraising, school leaders or staff stealing, etc.   Setting up a school PA with strong financial controls that can work and assist the school while earmarking things that are important to parents like trips to China, or a library,etc., is great![/quote]
