[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course PTA funds shouldn’t be spent on these issues. Ignore the troll.[/quote]

I read that as one example of why the simple solution is not just sharing PTA funds amongst schools. That there are rules in place. Did not see anyone suggesting PTA fund should be used for unethical purposes. It was a lesson learned.

The larger discussion here is that it’s not easy to move PTA funds between schools to make things more equitable. We all know the reality is the more affluent schools are going to have more opportunities – and it’s very visible to even kids. There’s very little that the school board can do to address this and boundary changes is not a solution.[/quote]

The suggestion given upthread was that the wealthy families at the South Arlington schools with higher poverty rates could possibly pool resources to help students go on the field trips. Not for PTAs from North Arlington to contribute. [/quote]

I was the poster who mentioned how we tried to see how PTAs could share funds in Arlington. Natl PTA said no.[/quote]

When was this?

We had a line item in our budget for annual CCPTA donation in our approved budget. Then the CCPTA would issue grants to various schools.

It was never an issue AFAIK but I haven’t paid attention in recent years.
