Extractions: More Taking the Parent out of the National PTA by George A. Clowes, School Reform News, February 2003. Excerpt: "Charlene K. Haar made what she thought was a routine request to the National PTA, the reaction she received was so surprising it piqued the former public school teacher's curiosity to learn more about the century-old Parent-Teacher Association. Instead of a parent organization dedicated to the enhancement of the nation's schools, Haar discovered a group dominated by teacher unions and little attuned to the interests of parents and their children." (PDF) National PTA's Liberal Politics Cost Parental Support , February 2003. This report from the Capital Research Center (CRC) concludes, "The national Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) lost a significant number of members in the last 40 years because of its focus on politics rather than education." What Next For The PTA? Parents Turn Away From The Century-Old Group by Mary Lord, U. S. News and World Report, May 31, 1999: "... When it comes to tackling the larger issues that affect the quality of education, parents are stuck on the sidelines. How do they get to influence the debate over academic standards and school choice? Who speaks for [them]? Not, it seems, the country's most venerated parent group - the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, or PTA. ... [One] reason the PTA is playing hooky on education reform ... may be its cozy relationship with the teachers unions."

FORMER SCOUT LEADER EXPLAINS BSA FUNDING These organizations include ptas, ptos, PTCs, Concerned Parents of _ groupswhich obtain it is flatly illegal in some States, including illinois, for any http://www.infidels.org/~nap/bsa_funding_BCritz.html
Extractions: Boyd R. Critz, III explains funding of scouting. He emphasizes that his motives are POSITIVE; that is, he supports BSA, and hopes that scouting will reform its discriminatory requirements. Most Councils are funded from several sources. United Ways contribute a major piece, varying from about 35% down. Councils also raise funds directly through solicited gifts from individual supporters. This can also raise about 30-50% of total funding, more if the United Way piece is lower and less if it is higher. Finally, fees, literature and badge sales, sales of things such as "Scouting popcorn," etc. make up the difference. "Membership" fees for the youth and adult leaders are NOT a part of these budgets, though. These plus all subscription fees to Boy's Life Magazine go to the National Council, BSA, Inc. Only a review of each specific Council's budget data will provide sufficient information to discuss that Council intelligently. Councils are corporations, not owned by the BSA, Inc. but chartered by it to promote Scouting in a particular area. Each is a not-for-profit under the laws of the State where incorporated. Most States have several Councils operating within their borders. I am not personally familiar with the total budget of the Boy Scouts of America, Inc. to state much. I used to be more so - when I was a voting member (part of the position responsibilities of being a Council Commissioner). However, there are donated funds, fees, sales of supplies and equipment, sales of uniforms, income from operations of the "working" cattle ranch portion of Philmont Scout Ranch, etc. I do not believe that there are any United Way funds going to this endeavor.

PTO Vs. PTA : August/September 2000 (upd. Aug '02) | PTO Today illinois Superintendent of Schools Dr. Glenn McGee remembered a day earlier in hiscareer when he But, no matter what the numbers, ptos and ptas are more http://www.ptotoday.com/0800ptopta2.html
Extractions: RECEIVE EMAIL UPDATES: SEARCH PTO TODAY: By Tim Sullivan It was perhaps the loudest reaction on the first day of the 2000 national PTA convention in Chicago. Illinois Superintendent of Schools Dr. Glenn McGee remembered a day earlier in his career when he made the mistake of referring to parent groups as PTOs. Almost on cue, the crowd of 1,500 or so PTAers roared their disapproval. Loud boos echoed through the cavernous meeting hall. He may as well have said that he hated the Cubs, the White Sox, the Bulls, and the Bears. Why the strong emotions? Are PTOs hurting kids or doing something wrong? While no PTA defenders go that far, there is a subtle but undeniable implication that those groups that arent part of the PTA are in some way choosing to abandon the cause of children. For some groups, the PTO vs. PTA debate is simply a matter of dollars and cents (either we dont want to send any money out of our school or are we getting enough service for the money we send out of our school?). For others, though, the debate takes on a significantly increased importance. If we dont speak for all children, then who will? the PTAs most loyal defenders often ask. Independence vs. Affiliation

Extractions: Alice George I f you are interested in working with me to design a program, please email me . Here are some options to consider: One-week intensive residencies , where I work with a core group of students each day. This can be an effective way to jump-start students' creativity and language fluency, especially if there are complementary activities before and/or after the residency. I may consider traveling outside the Chicago area. Two-eight week residencies within the Chicago area, where I see core classrooms of students one to 3 times/week, coordinating with classroom teachers to design units which reinforce curriculum or emphasize particular skill sets. Adult or multi-generational workshops within schools, libraries or community centers. One option is a half or full-day collage/poetry workshop (visit the
