[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a Lafayette HSA board member. The HSA cannot just do things because the parents want something done. Everything we do must be approved by the Principal.  It's her school and she is in charge. We raise funds so that Lafayette can have things it would not get otherwise.

With regard to the original posting, it is true that the AP position as been eliminated.  Prior to SY 2010-2011, Lafayette did not have an AP.  She eliminated the AP position so that she could add a fifth 3rd grade teacher and keep five Kindergarten teachers and aids (DCPS reduced it to four and she felt keeping 5 was necessary).

Instead of bashing Lafayette (its administration and HSA) anonymously online, perhaps you should try talking with either face-to-face and get the information first hand. While everyone keeps complaining Lafayette's HSA is exclusive and not welcoming, we have done nothing but try and be as open and transparent as possible this year.[/quote]

I agree the HSA is actively trying to engage more parents and families, thank you.  But the truth is I have no interest in engaging because the parents are simply not a part of any policy related decisions. HSA meetings are useless, any meaningful discussion that may challenge the policy the principal has set is met with subtle hostility from the principal and other parents.  No thanks.[/quote]
