I went back for just this calendar year (2010) and there were 22 contributions by the school PCC's totaling $49,549.85 each individual contribution required the item to be voted on an approved by the School Committee.<br /><br />I agree that communication with the PCCs is critical to the success of the entire district.Steve Sherlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13070688297607895943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3947607097668387126.post-70530539910627638462010-08-23T17:48:53.333-04:002010-08-23T17:48:53.333-04:00I watched the last school committee meeting and sa...I watched the last school committee meeting and saw you mention that the PCC was not part of the DIP.(thank you!) Have the administrators and school committee deliberately chosen not to include the PCC?<br /><br /> The fact that the override failed does not mean that parents do not support the schools. Each school's PCC raises thousands which help fund field trips, science/music enrichment, guest authors, and a host of other programs that benefit the students' education. Parents not only support their children's school by raising money, but volunteer their time as well. I believe strong parental support has helped to contribute to the success of Franklin Public Schools. I also believe communication between parents and the schools is critical. How will the administrators and school committee foster positive parent relationships without the PCC?<br /><br />Sad way to start off the school year.4schoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963159852451705226noreply@blogger.com
