[quote=Anonymous]What DCPS school has IPads and Apple computers paid for through optional student support fees? My DC goes to Mann, with a PTA donation request of $1500 a year and it's used for such frivolities as teacher's aids and science department. Our principal and other teachers seek out grants and received a sponsorship offer from a local business to support a teaching garden, have a box top program run by the librarian that supports the purchase of extra library books, and asks the parents to pay piecemeal for each field trip their child attends if they are able. I have never heard of any DCPS school that requests a $500 school fee that pays for fancy computers, over the top facilities, enrichment and outrageous field trips. If they did, how would such a thing add up to support all those things, especially when OP is probably not the only parent who refuses to contribute? This is bogus.[/quote]
