[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I'll give you some examples of what our PTA funds can't cover: field trips because DCPS doesn't provide buses (and our kids don't have SmartTrip cards), [/quote] I can't speak to the lack of other resources at your school, but the Kids Ride Free program (https://ddot.dc.gov/page/school-transit-subsidy-program) gives [b]every DCPS student[/b] free rides on MetroBus and MetroRail; the cards are given to the schools to distribute to students, so if your school doesn't use this program, then that's on your school administration for not getting the cards from DDOT and giving them out to the kids. Furthermore, there are a ton of programs around DC that provide free transportation to the schools that participate in their events (for example, the Kennedy Center.) It sounds like the teachers and admins at your school are perhaps not cognizant of these things? [/quote]
