[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d be in favor of that. Make Nauck neighborhood, true neighborhood. Give them the best school and all the resources denied over the years. [/quote]

But then the school's sits half empty while the neighboring ones are overcrowded. They can't do this. Also, who exactly is going to provide these extra resources if not the parents themselves? Is there going to be a special tax levied? APS certainty isn't going to given them more than required by law. [/quote]

This is the poster that posted what the school should be. I mean of course APS isn't going to give them more than required by law. I was just pointing out what my dream would be for these schools.  Yes, the money would have to come from taxes and theoretically the district would pay for people to come in and handle all of this extra stuff. I realize it will never happen. But it seems stupid crazy to change nothing and just expect different results to magically happen. [/quote]

Speaking of PTAs, I've tried unsuccessfully to source budget document for each school online. I do know that the top end is Jamestown and Nottingham, who pull in well over $100k a year. On the other end, Randolph, for instance probably tops out at $20k a year and they have to work a lot harder at it; they can't just ask parents to write a $500 dollar check, they have to get small dollar donations from Harris teeter customers or what not. At the level they are collecting funds, most north Arlington PTAs are required to file and make available IRS form 990 to anyone who requests it. I would LOVE to see ArlNow write this story.[/quote]
