PRINT THIS STORY Some PTAs say they're fed up with fund raising School parent groups look to scale back or rethink what they raise money for By Amy Hetzner of the Journal Sentinel staff Last Updated: Sept. 4, 2000 The Banting Bolt will run on, but parents have put the lid on Tupperware for Technology. 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. 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.

GERRY O'BRIEN, Butte By SANDRA KALLIO/Wisconsin State Journal While public schools have been criticized for racial and gender achievement gaps for decades, there's another gap under scrutiny parental involvement in schools, particularly among men and minorities. Nine of 10 Parent Teacher Association (PTA) members are women and more than eight in 10 are white, according to the national PTA. While the organization has come a long way in the century since it was founded as the National Congress of Mothers, it remains far from balanced demographically. That's why the PTA is piloting an Hispanic Outreach Initiative in California, Florida and Texas. The goal is to create a network of Latino leaders to reach out to Latino families, so they feel welcome to participate in their children's education. This is not just a warm, fuzzy concept. Research indicates that when parents are involved in schools, their children do better academically. Parent-teacher groups in the Madison School District seem to include more men than the national average but remain mighty white. According to a tally of board presidents and co-presidents listed on school district Web sites, about eight in 10 top officers are women. Those contacted for this story note few peers from minority populations, even though about four of every 10 students are minorities.
