[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it is. title I spending is used only for certain purposes and it is provided because of the Overwhelming need of those schools. A school needs to be about 38% poor kids to qualify guess how many of those kids are English learners. If Title I spending made schools “equal” or better then families would be clamoring to go to those schools. title I helps bridge what would otherwise be even a larger and more unacceptable divide.[/quote]

I agree that the needs of the Title I schools are many, and the spending is justified.  But call a spade a spade - those schools are consuming more resources that those with well-funded PTAs.  The PTA spending is in the noise.[/quote]

PTA spending that you say is "in the noise" exacerbates the differences.[/quote]

Giving the title I schools $$$ equivalent to NA PTA spending wouldn’t move the needle. Based on the challenges faced by the populations served by the title I schools, it’s like peeing in the ocean.[/quote]
