@ClaireMcInerny How was “affluent” defined in the article? Blanton does have Mueller families, yes, but also is majority-minority, 49% eco disadvantaged, 29% Eng lang learners. Enough ID’d that the whole school is free-lunch through USDA’s community eligibility prgm. twitter.com/KUT/status/139…

    I mention that because it is a complicated situation in many parts of Austin. Is this an example of a rich school self-funding a position? For the 19-20 AY, Blanton PTA 50% funded the Parent Support Specialist (COA provided the rest).

    Her work was more focused on the Spanish-exclusive parents.

    Maybe that’s unfair for Blanton to fund over other schools who need it too, but it’s more nuanced than suggested.
