[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a fan of this practice. At all. [/quote]

You want parents to donate nothing? Move to MoCo?[/quote]

MoCo allows PTA donations and some wealthy schools even have set up Foundations that pay for large one-time expenses.  [b]But MoCo does not allow any payments for paraprofessionals or aides that DC NW PTAs cover.[/b]  The National PTA association frowns on paying for staff with PTa funds.   Isn't that why Janney has an HSA?[/quote]

And parents in the upper NW schools that pay for additional school staff get a tax write off for their donations because the parent association is a 501c3.[/quote]

The point is that DCPS needs to provide a competitive education with the funds it has, or it needs to allow families to supplement the program, or many families will leave. These students are not captive.[/quote]

No amount of money is going to make the education of one of multiple children who don't share the same father but have the same mother in a community of disorder and low expectations equivalent to the education of the child of two married parents with graduate degrees.

right, those other DC kids are just dirt kids and don't deserve our $$[/quote]
