[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No YY, interesting.  Actually as a YY parent I hope they choose not to participate and keep the time stamp wait list.  One if YY string points is the involved parents and the amazing job the PA does raising funds for the school.  You definitely get some involved, dedicated parents if the top of your wait list is comprised of parents who took the extra effort to stand in line extra early.  And before you say how unfair it is, with enough notice and planning you can work it out.  It is ONE day out of the year.[/quote]

If that's true, why so little participation from parents in the younger classes, especially the big class of 100?[/quote]

That's not what I see. At all. The PA meetings have great attendance and they gave the school at check for 90K this year.  Pretty amazing if you ask me.  It's a very strong community.[/quote]

Parents with kids in the higher grades run the PA.  I think YY should get on board, or maybe the charter board should simply make it mandatory. I envision it will as the idea catches on.

Maybe they're waiting to decide if prek3 will be added for 2014 to decide if YY will join?  Not that it'll make a big difference since in all likelihood most/all spots in prek3 will probably go to sibs.  Just speculating...

The younger grades have great participation by parents even if they don't participate in the PA.[/quote]
