A lot of what needs fixing is not going to be tackled here. It's going to be tackled at the PTA level and the county level, and I believe many of us are invested in doing that work. [/quote]

Future parent here. My local elementary has very poor parental involvement and from what I have been told a PTA  that keeps fizzing out. What are we to do? I have met the new CEO, took time off of work to meet my school board representative, and had telephone conversations with the school principal. I offered to take off of work to volunteer. No one has taken me up on my offer to volunteer. I even have a PG student as an intern. I am sitting at home now on furlough cleaning my house. This time could have been shared with the school system.

I am going to write another letter to Dr. Maxwell and follow it by calling into the school board meeting. Funny thing, my local high school has an certain focus and I have worked in that field for 25 years. Do iI need to take my talents, offers of freen help, and kid to another school system?[/quote]

You are an interloper, threatening their little power bases, asking questions instead of blindly accepting their authority. You don't serve their interests. They don't want you, and if you force yourself on them they will resist and resent you.

Such is the reality.[/quote]
