[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am on the PTA and we ask for $150 per kid, too.  DCPS.  It's a fundraising effort for the PTA which supports the school.  It's a suggested amount though, it is not mandatory.  Give what you want.

Maybe also think about whether what the PTA does is valuable to you at your school.  Our PTA funds lots of supplies/basics at the school, so that the principal can use her DCPS budget on staff salaries.  I think that is valuable, so I support the PTA.[/quote]

Can the PTA supplement salaries? I asked about this years ago and was told no. It would be great if they could give teaching awards just to the really good teachers. I would donate specifically toward that if it was for a teacher we thought was great.[/quote]

Yes in DCPS. [b]Mann has an aide in all classes above K because of PTA donations [/b](and the request is $1500 per child for the PTA).
(for PK and K, DCPS already provides for an aide, so the PTA doesn't have to fund that.)[/quote]

Is this true? I heard that PTA donations could not fund additional classroom teachers.  We have a co-teacher in my son's DCPS first grade class but she is a DCPS employee I believe.[/quote]

Lafayette HSA pays for some teachers- though not aides.[/quote]
