And, I suppose that there is "nothing" coming out of D.C. that impacts or mandates how the various states have to spend their money? I'm not saying that the state doesn't get funding messed up, but they aren't the only factor. I was a school board member back in the '80's and dang sure remember that the feds "required" compliance from the schools in order for them to continue getting funds for school lunches.

In reality, not very much. DC may mandate testing for some funding, but individual states make the test. I will be on a committee for the new US History test in June.

Do you know how to read and understand form 990?

Sure. Care to elaborate on your logic so I don't assume anything?

Apparently I'm not very smart and I don't have a "boots on the ground" perspective so can someone please 'splain this to me. Seems like the teachers strike achieved an additional $479M in funding for 2019. However, with my public school education it looks like approx. 85% will go to salaries and bennies for the teachers and support staff. The rest, $70M, goes to the schools? If this is in fact the case the strike was for what? Teacher pay or for more money for the classrooms? This came from the website Laborpress.

I'll be glad to explain it to you. The answer was more money for the classrooms, support staff and infrastructure. The teachers wanted 10K, 5K for support staff and 200 million. They got 6k, ~1K for support staff, and 70 million for the schools. The Bill you describe was passed BEFORE the walkout. Given the nearly constant cuts to education the 70 million wasn't nearly enough. With regards to your ridicule theory, that's not what happened. It seems a lot of the community agreed as they had overwhelming support.

All I have to say about "inflated numbers" by non profits by using partnerships, I'll say only this. Nonprofits, particularly those affiliated with providing services or products to low income, have to track services through ROMA (Results Oriented Management & Accountability) reporting software. This eliminates duplication of services. Double and triple counting of the same person, through partnerships and co-op's, is no longer the norm and difficult to do.
Just saying.

100% False, 501C3 (Non-Profit) file Form 990 (This is an information return only)
(What Line Number is ROMA on form 990) (The answer is it is not on Form 990)

Now if they are being reimbursed by the Fed or State then they may have to account to that agency to receive more funds. (That kind of makes them a Fed or State agency not a Non-Profit)

Where were my numbers wrong? IF they were then post up the actual numbers. Total dollar amount increased because of the strike, total going to salaries and bennies for teachers and support staff and total going to the classroom. Then post of up the percentages. Pretty cut and dry: three numbers is all I need. Yours and several others on here have posted numerous times that the reason for the strike was for more money for the classroom. Well, lets see it.

I will support teachers 100% of the time when they go on strike and they strike for a specific reason. Don't tell me it's for the kids and then we find out 85% of the captured money is going to salaries. You want to strike for more pay then be honest about it. You are paid the lowest in the nation and want more money from me in the form of taxes you got my support but do lie about it.

Fact.

The State Department gives money to each district every year for Books. Some local school districts chose not to buy books with this money and instead spend it for Admin Overhead.

Under the old system Students were assigned a text book for each core subject. And held accountable for it (There were study hall and students needed textbooks)

Study hall were done away with and the following new system is being used.

Top School were students read on grade level are assigned a textbook to take home and it stays at home till the end of the year for home work. (They are held accountable for it) Class rooms for core subjects have one text book per desk.

Schools were student do not read on grade level (Inter schools etc.) are not assigned a text book because they do not do homework and are not held accountable for them. Class rooms have one Text Book per desk. Student rip the question at the end of each chapter out and other page so that they do not have to read or answer questions from the book (See PokinFun early post about this)

High School have a higher reading level than middle school and grade schools, because a lot of non-readers drop out because of the credit system and attendance when the get to high School.
