[quote=Anonymous]1. In general people in places with "good" demographics and good schools do not need major involvement to have a good school. As PP said above, bake sales, chaperoning field trips is a far cry from the effort to turn a school around

2. That said, I think in bad schools with "bad" demographics in troubled systems, the reality is that much larger parental involvment is needed. Thats not just DC - I think it applies to many inner city school systems.  In our own region, I imagine it plays a big role in PG County and in City of Alexandria as well.

3.  That said, far more parents will make that commitment for major involvement, if they see the school system is encouraging it by doing SOMETHING for neighborhood families, and esp if the principal is encouraging of it.

4. That said, DCPS probably DOES have bigger fish to fry right now than LT, or the Hill in general.   In particular the transition of Hardy and its feeders to IB, the reopening of Mcfarland, the construction of new middle schools EOTP, addressing and encouraging steady transition in several EOTP schools, managing the relationship to charters, and addressing the many low performing schools.
