He added that they may not even have a PTA to take charge of fundraising efforts. <br /><br />He makes a good point.

If a school NEEDS something the principal should be advocating to MCPS and the Board of Education for the request.

You've gotten so vindictive and paranoid toward MCPS that now you're chiding parents for raising money for their kids' schools?<br /><br />Take a step back and think about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
