[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go ahead and try to create a “PTO tax” and see how that works out. DC Council flirted with the idea of taking PTO funds from NW schools and giving them to poor schools. Parents made it clear their funding of the PTO would stop immediately and contributions a would be in-kind instead. Parents who are already paying their fair share in taxes expect the money they spend to benefit their own children to do just that. Not to be used for a Robinhood effort. [/quote] The problem with this argument is that many, many school districts prohibit this kind of fundraising by individual PTOs. Having one school raise 100k while another does not even have a PTO is clearly an issue. A redistribution of a portion of funds would make good sense. Or a program with a partner school to build long-term bonds.[/quote]
