[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on this thread, all the talk about rich people supporting their PTA resulting in funding sources far beyond the county's contribution is nonsense. I thought it was quite normal to contribute and I give $500/year/child. If DCUM isn't giving, who is?[/quote]

No one.  Folks may participate or give when/if you have an event or fundraiser but before that there is no giving and very little volunteering to lead the PTA or a committee (even when you give them a budget and free reign to do whatever they want).

People have this perception that the boards are cliques or just SAHM.  Folks were real surprised when they found out our entire board was working parents with multiple kids.[/quote]

Every school we've been at has been cliques, and sadly only a few people do anything.  Our HS constantly demands money for everything under the sun but never anything like trying to get donations, etc. for what they need.  Most of the board are working but its the same people since ES and they weren't impressive then and less impressive now.[/quote]
