So interesting.


this makes it sound like the PTA people get a salary from the funds raised. which, is likely very smart since they pull in so much money.

I think they mean they pay the salaries of school staf - in addition to what DCPS budget covers.

What does "gave boosters" mean?

Wealthier schools in NW are targeting $1,000 per child. See for eg. Janney.

Many of the 99% FARM EOTP schools I toured were right around $10k--and that was with a lot of work on behalf of a few very involved members. Obviously, it's vastly different in wealthier school zones.

I'm curious what the range is in schools across the city. I'd love to know what the ballpark numbers are. And also what the money is used for. TIA!
