“Are you folks in such a frenzy to create your own City that you fail to see the benefit in all of us working together? How can you argue with that? Why do you challenge that?”

Jeesh, where do you people come up with this stuff? Don’t be so paranoid. Don’t drink late at night. Read things carefully, then think about them twice before you speak.

You probably think that Iraq attacked us on 9/11, and that it really is a Nigerian prince that is asking for your help transferring a large sum of money.

Get a grip! Use your noggin!

Michelle,

Duh, of course it’s not an accurate picture of actual monies raised to this point. It clearly states that it is just an example for illustrative purposes, so that everyone can understand how the system works. I hope that most people who read this blog are smart enough to understand what “example” means. Come on, why are you trying to stir up a controversy where none exists? Would you be barking so loudly if the example showed funds moving from Wells to Fallon instead of vice-versa? I’ll say it a second time for your benefit — it’s just an example they put together to clarify the somewhat complicated system of funds distribution. Transparency is good for everyone!

My God. Are you folks in such a frenzy to create your own City that you fail to see the benefit in all of us working together? Fact is, there would be no East Dublin without the planning and years of hard work of the original Dublin. Conversely, East Dublin brings new assets to what has always been a great City. The goal has always been to create one outstanding City. How can you argue with that?Why do you challenge that?

I don’t have kids, so don’t really care, but “smoothing inequities in fundraising” can only occur by “transfers of funds from one school to another” That’s what the 80/20 plan does. DPIE is just a middle man to obfuscate the issue. Just sayin.

The fictional example you provided is not an accurate picture of actual monies raised to this point and it insinuates that Fallon and Green families will be paying directly to support Frederiksen and Wells library accounts, when that is not what is happening, fictionally or otherwise.
This is a year-long fundraising effort at all sites, which is to say that all schools will continue their efforts to raise funding in support of their own sites, and DPIE will be the clearing house for smoothing inequities in fundraising, not direct transfers of funds from one school to another. DPIE will be fundraising aggressively for this effort as well to add to the pot and the ability to help and support ALL programs.

Hi Chris – the escrip program is a fantastic approach to raising money for our schools. We’ll be featuring an article in the near future letting readers know more about the programs at various schools like Fallon, Dublin El, Wells, Green, etc.

Thx, John Z.

Hey John. Lets try to promote this other passive option for school fund raising.

Escrip. Here is Fallon’s PFC Website instructions for Escip.

This program is the simplest and a zero cost way to contribute to schools.
