[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Please excuse my ignorance (I'm humming, "To Dream the Impossible Dream" here): how does one go about fundraising so that there is a floater for all kindergarden classes in Montgomery County? If State Farm can give $5 million to save the petting zoo at the National Zoo (and thank you, State Farm), then we can raise--how much?--for a floater for human children at our public zoos! I mean, kindergardens.  
So: how much do you guesstimate is needed? For EVERY school. Yes, I know there are schools in poorer areas where class sizes are manageable, but the "have/have not" divide is sensitive, and has killed this issue before. Let's assume we're going to raise $$ to fund a kindergardener floater (an aide who floats among the K classes as needed) for EVERY elementary school.  
There are about 131 elementary schools in Montgomery County, 
according to page 3 of this report, which lists them: http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/regulatoryaccountability/glance/currentyear/SAAG2011.pdf
So--how much would a group need to fundraise? Incorrect answers are not counted against your total score, so feel free to guess. [/quote]
