A few months ago, I got an email from my daughter’s school about an Equity Summit being sponsored by the district’s education foundation, the non-profit fundraising arm of the school district. As someone interested in educational equity and as a former member of the district’s equity committee, I decided to attend. As I learned at the summit, the foundation had made the decision a few years ago to shift its financial resources from all the schools in the district to the three schools with the highest proportion of low-income students. This decision was made in part because these three schools do not have PTAs, and therefore, do not have local fundraising capacities.
