At our last PTA meeting our Principal asked the PTA for some money to fund a program. This has always been the way in our school and I know in other schools in the "Elite" District it has been the same way. We are fortunate that we have a large PTA coffer. As I have been thinking about it, I wonder about other schools that are not as fortunate and are going to need things also.
Our PTA has funded new text books, an essential is a text book for the curriculum. Kind of how the new Science Curriculum is not really a curriculum but a set of text books. Supplies for teachers (another essential), and an art & music program. The arts are very important in a child's creativity.
With the new budget I see how much (not a lot really) money our school is getting and what already needs to be cut from our daily operations in the building, and I wonder if we are going to do without how are other schools going to fair in the same situation.
Once I gave up my voice saying that I fought and nothing was changed and here we are all these years later , I have another child on his way up in this system, I have decided that it can't be a losing battle that their has to be some hope in this system and by golly I am going to try to find it.

About me
I am a parent of 3 sons. Three sons that are or have been educated in the Public School System. My youngest child is in the sixth grade. My middle child recently graduated from an overcrowded High School but it is okay it is a great school. Big eye roll. My oldest child is a college graduate and only because his Pissed Off Parents had to pull him out of the Public School system (which utterly failed him) and pay through the nose to put him in a Private High School with small class size and by golly it worked.
