    School parent groups look to scale back or rethink what they raise money for

Long depended on in a pinch to provide a check to cover extra field trip expenses or another jungle gym for the school playground, some parent-teacher organizations are questioning - and even backing away from - their role as their schools' main fund-raising arm. In districts such as Appleton, Waukesha and Whitefish Bay, PTAs and PTOs have reduced the ways they squeeze cash from neighbors and co-workers, sometimes even limiting what they will buy for their schools. Banting Elementary School in Waukesha eliminated all of its fund-raisers except for an annual run, and a Whitefish Bay school shelved its Tupperware sale.

    PTAs rethink fund-raising roles
    Some parent groups are shifting emphasis to changing state policies By Amy Hetzner
    Scripps Howard News Service
    WAUKESHA, Wis. - Long depended on in a pinch to provide a check to cover extra field trip expenses or another jungle gym for the school playground, some parent-teacher organizations are questioning - and even backing away from - their role as their schools' main fund-raising arm.
    PTA and school officials say fund-raisers in general are getting closer scrutiny because of volunteer burnout, tapped-out money sources and concerns about how such funding affects equity among their districts' schools, with some better able than others to raise big bucks.
    This year, the PTAs in Wisconsin districts encouraged members to convert the energy they have expended on hawking magazine subscriptions to buy school equipment into a campaign to change state policies and improve school funding.
    "There have been so many fund-raisers for so many parts of kids' lives," said Nikki Beckwith, PTA council president for the Wauwatosa School District, where parents have debated how much fund-raising they should be doing and what they ought to buy.

    Spaghetti dinners becoming schools' bread and butter
    Parent groups' fund-raisers help pay for upgrades in classrooms, libraries, playgrounds
    By Amy Hetzner
    of the Journal Sentinel staff Last Updated: Sept. 2, 2000 If teachers seem a little freer with the staples, if schoolchildren are playing outside a little longer and if students are getting more chances to hone their computer skills - parent fund-raisers likely should get the credit. PTA spaghetti dinners and PTO magazine sales are helping pay for everything from staplers to playgrounds to computers for schools, where once they might have only funded field trips and dances. "We have to provide for our children," said Mary Finman, a member of the Parent-Teacher Organization for Waukesha's Hawthorne Elementary School, where parents led an effort to get new desks earlier this year, helped by both cash and in-kind donations. "And if the district is not capable of doing it, the parent organization is going to have to. We'd like to just be buying the . . . extras, but that's not possible."

    Senator Kohl Comments on Reauthorization
    by Senator Herb Kohl As you may know, the Higher Education Act (HEA) was recenty reauthorized by the 105th Congress. HEA authorizes the Federal government's major student aid programs, which are responsible for an estimated $38 billion in grant, loan, or work study assistance. It also authorizes several other programs for disadvantaged students. The principle objective of the HEA is to expand postsecondary education opportunity, particularly for low-income individuals, and to increase the affordability of postsecondary education for many moderate income families. The goals of HEA coincide with my belief that everyone should have the right to quality education. The main focus of this bill was on reauthorization of Federal student loan and grant programs. The most contentious issue was the student loan interest rate. After much debate Congress reached a compromise which established a new formula for interest rates for new student loans. Borrowers will pay interest based on a formula of the 91-day Treasury bill plus 1.7 percent while in school, grace or deferment, and the 91-day Treasury bill plus 2.3 percent in repayment. Some other important highlights included in this bill are: The establishment of a new performance-based organization to administer Federal student aid programs.

    African-American students are over-represented in special education programs.
    Spring 2003 By Joel McNally The disproportionate placement of African-American males into special education classes has created a "a ghetto within a ghetto," says Gary Orfield, co-director of Harvard University's Civil Rights Project. Orfield says that this racial disparity makes it less likely that black students receive high school diplomas, less likely they will be employed after leaving school, and more likely they will end up in the criminal justice system. "This is segregation within segregation," Orfield said. "For a lot of these kids, this is a direct path to jail. It becomes an irreversible punishment in these kids' lives. This is taking a bad problem and putting it inside another even worse problem. It's just unconscionable." Orfield is co-editor with Daniel Losen of the newly published Racial Inequity in Special Education

    The Crack in the Picture Window By Benjamin R. Barber
    Is our sense of community eroding? A review of the new book by sociologist Robert Putnam . Benjamin R. Barber is director of the Walt Whitman Center for the Culture and Politics of Democracy, at Rutgers University. He is the author of "Jihad vs. McWorld" (Ballantine) and "A Passion for Democracy" (Princeton), among other works. Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community.
    By Robert D. Putnam.
    F IVE YEARS AGO Ever since, Putnam has been trying to make wise use of the funds in which his social capital project has been awash, hiring scores of researchers, running high-end seminars, scrutinizing a century of survey materials while simultaneously defending the flanks of his argument from ongoing assault, misunderstanding and abuse. The result is "Bowling Alone" (the book!), subtitled "The Collapse and Revival of American Community," although there is far more here about the collapse that has actually occurred than about the "revival" Putnam so earnestly wishes for. Now, I have been both a general admirer of Putnam's thesis about social decline in the original essay and a specific critic of the way he set about measuring that decline and how he explained it. But it is hard to remain skeptical in light of the formidable survey research and explanatory work Putnam has done. Indeed, he has taken what was a useful political polemic (we're losing faith in our political and civic system and each other!) and transformed it into a powerful sociological portrait of a democracy in imminent decline-a portrait as perspicacious, deeply felt and firmly rooted in data as the classic American portraits rendered in such works as "An American Dilemma," "Middletown" and "The Lonely Crowd."
