Fund-Raisers and Foundations No Solution to Schools’ Money Problems, Officials Say - NYTimes.com

Fund-Raisers and Foundations No Solution to Schools’ Money Problems, Officials Say - NYTimes.com: "But some education officials say they are concerned that more districts are being forced to rely on outside sources to pay for programs and services.

Over the last three years, efforts led by parents and community activists in three Long Island school districts, Wantagh, Plainedge and Patchogue-Medford, raised more than half a million dollars each to restore some or all of the programs cut after the districts were forced to adopt contingency budgets. Wantagh’s efforts came after the district’s budget was defeated twice last year."
