[quote=Anonymous]We are a Mann family. The recommended PTA contribution is $1,500 per child this year and the PTA says explicitly that partner teachers are PTA employees on the PTA payroll, not DCPS employees. Not sure about the benefits package. Maybe that's wrong, but the PTA operates like a well oiled machine, so I doubt they'd misspeak. She has a bachelor's in education, not sure if she's licensed in DC. And there are 14 partner teachers listed on the website and the PTA says they fund 11, so presumably 3 are the DCPS employees and the remaining 11 are the PTA employees.

The PTA does push contributing to the PTA pretty hard, but from what we've experienced it's all public shaming. Nobody is cornering you at pickup or ostracizing you at the school pickup.

We've never been in MCPS or private, so don't have a basis of comparison. But the Mann community (including the corporate sponsors) are extraordinarily generous and the school seems to do what they want, how they want, with minimal control by DCPS central office. [/quote]
