Is there any chance of the class distancing being changed to 3 feet between students?  Having kids rotating through different groups will be a nightmare for contact tracing if there is an outbreak at school, and keeping kids with their teachers will decrease the number of different cohorts.

The risk of transmission via contaminated surfaces is less than 1/10,000 per touch. Even if someone takes their mask off and sneezes on a surface.  I don’t think such a focus on cleaning surfaces is a good use of time. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/more/science-and-research/surface-transmission.html

So since kids are 6 feet apart in the classroom would they not need to quarantine?

I’m not sure what the staffing has to do with our collaboration?

The size of Abernethy classes has consistently been an issue. PTA funds have been used for reading specialists and a 1/2 grade teacher to alleviate the class numbers. What are the avg. class sizes for grades 4 & 5 at Abernethy and Grout?

I think it’s valuable to see why Grout is getting Title 1 funds and how they are used, and the differences between the two school communities. It’s important to understand that the district uses a differentiated funding model to increase equity, not because communities who can do so are expected to fundraise.

Can principal Self tell us how much grout received from foundation funds last year?

I'm unsure if the Abernethy is conflicted about raising funds to support the school that educates their children; fwiw, I know that schools that underserved students don't apologize for their fundraising and proudly see it as endorsement of their hard work. I think Abernethy's internal community support is something we should be proud of and celebrate!

Who votes the budget in? Is everyone able to vote?

Several PPS schools are not able to raise foundation funds in order to add a reading specialist; when individual schools can meet our own needs through fundraising that involves a lot of resources of time and energy that could be put towards ensuring ALL kids in our district have access to what they need.

I think it's very important to point out that the PTA and Foundation act as one organization at Abernethy. That is pretty unique in the district and can create many situations that are contrary to the goals of the national and state PTA.

PTA is totally a fundraising organization. Many places have PTA that are "hamstrung" in that they cannot invest directly in educational programs. It is AMAZING that we can help support our teachers and students!

I am not a PTA member and will not be a PTA member until the Foundation and PTA are once again separate. I feel this is unfortunate since the advocacy and community support efforts the PTA does do are so wonderful.

Actually one of the first things mentioned in national PTA training materials is that the primary goal of the PTA is NOT fundraising.

That said, of course we are very fortunate we have been able to support our school in such a robust way.
