[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I -- parent with a lot of resources -- have still to get this card to my son.   It may or may not ever happen, and then he'll probably lose it before the beginning of the year, or forget to bring it to school.   I say it is a waste, and better to use the $20,000 to pay for a part-time aide in some school that needs it.   [/quote]

There's a difference between "use or lose" local funds that must be spent by the end of the fiscal year, and recurring funds for staff. This mailing was likely the former. The central office came under budget somewhere and wanted to spend on an attendance incentive. [/quote]

Don't make excuses unless you really are downtown and then shame on you, still better to stockpile copy paper and other materials teachers regularly pay out of pocket for. I can think of a lot more uses for the money, and why are we throwing around this arbitrary sum - we all know it probably cost a lot more than that, that would be the well-researched and sent out to tender price  :oops: [/quote]
