[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCCPTA will help ANY school find a sister school to help with funding.

There is a FB page right now devoted to MCPS teachers asking for what they need for their classrooms (with Amazon links) and parents across the county are buying items for schools across the county.

Boosters at HSs (we are not at Whitman but have a booster) support the kids activities.  So the soccer team asks for new goals, the theatre program new lights, etc.  Yes, funded by parents.  These kids probably also play club soccer and take classes at Imagination Stage, or Adventure Theatre. Should they not do that since not everyone can afford those activities either?

Life isn't fair, I drive a 14 year old car and would prefer not to, but it is what it is.  There are lots of ways for schools and individual teachers to get help and assistance, they just have to ask[/quote]

NP. So a GoFundMe for teaching supplies, in one of the richest counties in the country.

Instead, why not reroute a percentage of PTA donations to a common pool that's then divided across all county schools?[/quote]
Because people won’t donate to it likely. People like to keep their donations local to their community. And so they will just send school supplies in directly or find another work around. [/quote]

In place of "their community" I would say "their children." This is exactly why parents can't be relied on to do the right thing and the county should regulate.[/quote]
