Real estate agent Allie Leckie said Wednesday the It Takes a Community effort starting May 15 would seek $20 or more from 50,000 residents, about 12 percent of the county population.
She said even if people don’t have children in school, the donations are “an investment in our future.”
“This impacts all of us greatly,” said Leckie, who has six children — ages 14 to 30 — and two grandchildren. “These are our doctors, these are our attorneys, these are our news writers. Without an education they have no future.”
Children should be proactive in this campaign, she said.
Why doesn't she go to Broad or Gates and beg for the money? But of course they would have strings attached.
Disgusting is the only word for it. Public school districts should not be charity cases.
