[quote=Anonymous]And I can come up with many more examples of where low income schools get MORE money than schools like Louise Archer not to mention they have their meals and sports fees paid for among other things.  And the low income children at Louise Archer are being paid for by the PTA verses being left out. Low income schools really don't want equality because they already get quite a bit more money than the schools that don't have a lot of low income children.  I'm sure the Louise Archer parents would prefer the smaller class sizes and additional math specialist like the title 1 schools, but don't go blaming the democratic party about the discrepancy.  If you think your school should be spending their extra money on a Jamestown trip, bring it up with your principal or find a business willing to subsidize.  FCPS is pretty good about distributing money evenly for core programs and then giving more money to schools with higher percentages of low income children for additional programs.  They even raise money outside of the money from the BOS for programs like you mentioned.  The schools simply can't pay for everything on their own and need the PTAs and other outside sources to help out with funding.[/quote]
