[quote=Anonymous]Question re: the supplemental fund idea. Businesses contribute to the schools in a variety of ways, right?  Sometimes with direct contributions (I've seen a wall of giving of some sort at Target showing dollar amounts) and sometimes with things like breaks on goods and services/in kind gifts and then also fundraising activities like giftwrap and such.  Those are targeted to specific schools though I think.  Is the policy prohibiting parent giving explicitly concerned with direct funds from parents?  I think I can understand the general theory about maintaining something like equity between schools by prohibiting direct giving by the parents for staff salaries and such, but would a more general fund be possible?  (like the monies received through non-parental donations?) Then the schools could use that on non-staff wage expenses to free up money in the budget to use on wages?  I'm guessing there is some complicated budgetary reason this is not possible, but if anyone could clarify that would be great.[/quote]
