[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20% FARMS really isn't that high.[/quote] Exactly. Yet for some parents, 5% is too high. [/quote] A big reason the FARMS% may by an issue to some parents, is that basically any household making over $100K does not get reduced before school / after school care through the PTA. We currently pay $~500 month for extended day in Arlington, while families that make less are heavily heavily subsidized (or basically free) by the parents making over $100K (or some close number to that). When we have 3 kids in Elementary school next year, that $1,500 per month adds up, when we don't make much over $100K. I'm fine with the cultural diversity, just not crazy about subsiding extended day for others, when I kind of need a subsidy.[/quote]
