Somewhat off topic -- but did you see okaymattd's thread on the possibility of an okayfund? One of the thoughts that's being bandied about has to do with supporting schools. Your input would be appreciated.

BooDaah posted something yesterday that opened my eyes and may have some application here. He said that when he's trying to round people up for activist activities, they scatter, but when he invites people to a club, they're all over it. Maybe part of the key is to make the parents' participation seem like a privilege, rather than an obligation, an opportunity rather than a drudge. Maybe a little PR work is needed? Just a thought. I don't know how you're advertising this -- I mean, of course, presenting it -- to the parents.

Peace.
