[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since everyone ignored my ballot initiative suggestion, I'll make another practical suggestion to try to find a solution that improves all the schools:
How about a rule that says parents can contribute to fund aides for their school, but some portion (50%?) of what they fundraise will go into a pot to fund aides county wide.  That's essentially what catholic churches do--some portion of what the parishioners donate to tE church is given to the diocese for re-distribution to churches that aren't raising enough to cover their needs.  Wouldn't this kind of rule have something for everyone?  [/quote]

That seems like an idea everyone can get behind.  I'd favor it![/quote]

In terms of action, I hope that everyone who supports the idea of permitting parents to contribute to the funding of aide positions in the classroom will reach out to a BOE member sometime this month.  Let's do that individually to at least get the ball rolling and build some momentum.  I particularly like the idea above (where there is a 50% allocation to the local school and 50% to a county pot).  Let's do this.  We don't have to just accept this current rule as set in stone.  Even though this is such a massive school district,  I'm hoping that at least it's possible to attempt to make a change. [/quote]
