[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Future Janney parent here. We've been warned by two separate families that the "donation" is no-joke pressure tactics, and that your kids access to stuff is definitely tied to whether you donated or not. One parent told me another parent (soliciting their donation) called the switchboard at his office - not knowing the parents direct line - and got patched through.

I like where we live, but if these stories are true, I'm not looking forward to this...[/quote]

Good Lord. This is my eighth year at Janney and I have simply NO IDEA how much any family donates. I have never been asked to donate and no one has ever mentioned to me that they've been on the receiving end of PTA pressure tactics. There have been years that haven't given a dime until later in the school year and I've never heard a peep from anyone. At every turn, the PTA goes to great length to mention that they value participation rather than a set dollar value. Everyone needs to just get a grip. [/quote]

You may not know, but I am sure the fundraising committee knows.[/quote]
