[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Put it this way. Privates cost $30k+ and most donate $$ on top of that. If you have enough to contribute without it really affecting you and it will help the school to provide activities or specials for the kids, then it seems like a bargain to me. But maybe find out what the money is used for first? [/quote]

I think finding out EXACTLY what the money is used for is a great idea. I hear you about private schools, but your PTA money is not buying you smaller class sizes, more 1-1 attention as needed, etc. Yes, it's much less money, but some PTAs are awesome with the money and getting input from not only admin but PARENTS and others aren't and the money might not benefit many kids.

In a perfect world (where it didn't require more time and work from PTA officers) I would prefer to give that donation toward something specific like buying school supplies and winter coats for kids in the school who can't afford them or adding a shade structure on the playground which is in direct sunlight or buying things off a favorite teacher's wish list..[/quote]
