C utting C lass The PTA Plays Hooky from Educational Reform Charlene Haar Policy Review Summer 1995, Number 73 Subscribe to Policy Review Send a Letter to the Editor Since the publication of "A Nation at Risk" in 1983, Americans have become increasingly alarmed about the dismal results and soaring costs of their public schools. No group of citizens has a closer view of these problems or a more immediate stake in addressing them than the parents of the country's 48 million schoolchildren. Here and there, parents have won minor battles to influence curricula or oust mediocre school-board members. But as individuals, parents are no match for the forces that favor the status quo. The mission of the PTA has always been to "work on behalf of the best interests of all children on issues that affect their health, education, and welfare" and "to encourage parent involvement." With almost seven million members, the PTA offers great potential for promoting parental involvement in the educational welfare of children. But in the 1990s, that mission requires of the PTA something it has been unwilling to do: demand accountability for performance and spending at every level of the educational system. Local Control Decades ago, parents had significant influence over their neighborhood schools. Over the years, however, school districts consolidated, teachers and administrators came to see themselves as credentialed professionals, and state laws standardized educational practices and curricula. Today, many parents are less likely to get involved in their children's educational environment. Nevertheless, the impetus for reform will have to come from parents active at the grass roots.

Back to Publications - ACCESS newsletter Summer 95 Inside this Issue School-Based Health Care Advocates Speak Against Violence Making a Case for Case Management School-Based Health Care Assembly Breaks New Ground M ore than 500 people from around the country gathered June 23-25 to establish a national movement to support improved health services for children through school-based health care. The conferenceappropriately titled Breaking New Ground! brought together school-based health care providers, researchers, and advocates for three days of activities in Washington, DC. "This is clearly a historic occasion," said Joy Dryfoos, a long-time leader of school-based health care. "For the first time, the entire school-based health care movement is building a strong organization with the capacity for advocacy, networking, and sharing resources." If the crowd's size and enthusiasm were any indication, the effort promises to be a major success. Conference organizers expected a turnout of 350 people, but they significantly underestimated the desire for this meeting. More than 500 attendees from 42 states and the District of Columbia flocked to Washington for the occasion. Half of the participants were people who work on the front lines of school-based health care250 health center staff and community organizers. The other half reflected interest from all quarters, including educators; health care institutions; private funders; community organizations; and local, state, and federal governments.

Sue's Letters 1999-2001 Jan/Feb 2000 Mar/Apr 2000 May/June 2000 July 2000 ... October 2001 ] [Farewell Speech] [ PTA Service Record SUE'S FAREWELL SPEECH - 1999-2001 When I was elected as your President two years ago, I began a journey that has been filled with challenges, pride, disappointments, joy, and hope. The greatest challenge I have faced has been carrying out the responsibilities of this office while holding a full-time job in an elementary school. I have spent most of my days meeting the requirements of my job and long nights and sometimes many days away from my job meeting my responsibilities as President of the VA PTA. This was made somewhat easier for me as I had a Superintendent who believed in providing professional leave time in order that I might travel across the state as President of the VA PTA while also serving as an ambassador for public schools. And yet it has all been worthwhile for during these past two years, I feel we have made a difference for children. - You may ask how have we made a difference?

F or decades, product sales have reigned as the fundraising method of choice for most small non-profit organizations. However, the choice of products available to the fundraising chairperson today has grown exponentially, reading like a What's What in consumer goods. In fundraising drives across the country, the ever-popular candy, magazines and wrapping paper are found alongside everything from non-perishable cheese and sausage to light bulbs, birdseed, fresh fruit, tee shirts and scads of gift items. Now refrigerated and frozen foods - from pizza and cheesecakes to cookie dough - are gaining popularity in the parade of products sold for fundraising purposes. These products bring with them a whole new set of distribution and handling considerations. As a fundraising decision-maker, your primary goal, of course, is to conduct a smooth, profitable fundraiser. But don't lose sight of the fact that the foods sold through a fundraising drive are still intended for people to eat and enjoy, safely. "There's a misperception that foods sold for fundraising purposes are indestructible," reports Jim Messina, a New Jersey-based supplier of frozen foods for the fundraising market. According to Messina and others in the business of manufacturing and distributing frozen cookie dough, cheesecakes, pizzas and other frozen food items, the parameters for preserving these increasingly popular fundraising items are no different from products purchased from the grocer. Tom Lundeen, another frozen food supplier based in Iowa agrees, "When you buy ice cream at the corner supermarket, you don't leave it in the trunk for two days."

ENSURING THAT GOVERNMENT ACTIONS FOSTER GROWTH, ECONOMIC WELL-BEING, FREEDOM AND INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY Parents or politics? The National PTA may soon have to decide whether it will be a parents' group or just another liberal lobby Jennifer Marshall RECENT ARTICLES IN EDUCATION REFORM: No standards without freedom Leave no district child behind Seizing This Teachable Moment Restoring Equality, Restoring Civil Rights ... 2002 National Assessment of Educational Progress: Reading: An Analysis It was a mid-Summer showdown at the House Education and the Workforce Committee. Republicans were pushing a bill to provide scholarships to low-income students in the District of Columbia, and committee Democrats knew exactly who to turn to for testimony against parental choice in education: an organization ostensibly for parents, the National PTA. It was the second time this year that a PTA representative had testified against parental choice before the committee. Most Americans know the PTA as a world of bake sales, fun fairs, and teacher-appreciation lunches, and at the local level it is. The national organization, however, has a different agenda. Whether the issue is opposing educational choice or calling for increased federal funding for public-school programs, politicians on the left know they have a friend in the National PTA. But its one-sided politics are out of touch with its members, and political analysts say the National PTA soon may have to decide whether its priority is representing parents or its liberal political agenda.

Texas School Performance Review Spring Independent School District Appendix A Community Comments This appendix summarizes comments from two community forums held at Spring and Westfield high schools, interviews with key area civic and business representatives, and focus-group meetings with various civic, business, and community organizations. These comments are presented to illustrate community perceptions of the Spring Independent School District (SISD) and do not necessarily reflect the findings or opinions of the review team. METHODOLOGY The community forums were open meetings held from 3:00-5:00 pm and 6:00-8:00 pm at each of the high schools. People were asked to share their comments about SISD by writing on tablets dispersed around the cafeteria in each school. Each tablet represented one of the chapters of this report. Interviews were held with individuals identified as community leaders, heads of key organizations within SISD (such as PTAs and PTOs), former board members, business leaders, and civic leaders representing various interest groups. The focus groups were assembled using input from SISD staff regarding key community organizations, and included members of minority organizations and business, religious, and civic groups as well as teachers and students. The focus groups were asked to provide comments on each area represented in this report as well as any general comments on SISD.
