To whom it may concern,
My son came home with permission slip to sell candy for items not covered by State or Federal Funds for the middle school, per the permission slip. NO MENTION OF WHAT THE MONEY WOULD COVER.
What is this about? What cut does the school get out of the candy? What assurance does the parent have that the child will reap the benefit of the funds gained? Who administrates the funds once they are collected and the bills are paid? Does the child get credit for lost homework time or an extension of a school sponsored activity? Why doesn't the school have enough funds to operate the issues it wants to? Why are we funding building projects when the school needs other things? Should we keep the lights on in house we have rather than look to have a larger one?
The whole thing looks wrong. Granted the school has done it for years but in thinking about it, I'd rather give the school the money in the name of my child rather than teach him how to pan handle or put up with begging in the streets.
If we're looking for money why don't we put jars in the convenient stores and the ABC store churches and beg for donations.
What's this all about?
I guess we're taking the first step to putting them in the mindset to get a piece of card board and looking for a busy intersection "HUNGRY NEED MONEY".

Who's watching the store anyhow? When was the last time a Line Item Budget was put forth for the public? When did we see a financial statement for the month get put forth for the reveiw of the public?
I hope we don't have to worry about the kids keeping the lights on with candy sales.
I am a middle schooler, and it is my understanding that the money is for the middle school's general fund.
