[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but PP equates them - "what's it gonna be? Extra parent raised funds or federal funds?" I am Ib for a title 1, 99% FARMS school and am considering it--but to say the level of resources between a school like my IB school and JKLM schools is the same is ridiculous.[/quote]

Using HD Cooke and Janney as examples:

For FY14, per-pupil expenditures will be (from: http://dcps.dc.gov/DCPS/About+DCPS/Budget+and+Finance/FY14+Fiscal+Report+Card)

H.S. Cooke: $13,070u?,
Janney:        $ 8,739

So the question might be whether the additional funds allocated to Cooke cover its increased needs. In terms of just Title funds, HD Cooke receives $177 K to Janney's $15 K.

Fortunately, schools may be poised to receive an additional $3 K per low-income student.

But then how much money does the janney pta raise vs the cooke pta?[/quote]

The 2nd teacher in the class room is needed b/c the behavior of the students is significantly different.  Children at Janney come to school every morning ready to learn.  They are fed, dressed, have the supplies they need.  They did not spend an hour on public transportation to get to school.   They come to school when it rains, when it snows and are dressed appropriately.   They have had more books read to them before age 2 than many children in Title 1 schools will read through elementary school.  Janney parents are not working 3 jobs to pay the bills.  Janney parents are engaged so that the teachers do not need to check homework every morning since there are parent volunteer homework helpers.

These are 2 different worlds - title 1 funds will not create an equal stage.[/quote]
