Also, we have had three kids in three schools for years now, and there is no way to engage in any meaningful volunteering over three schools unless you completely neglect two of them. So, we end up just helping a little bit at each school but not really engaging in any of them.

Again, I think that the 4/5 model was definitely the right solution when it was put in place, but things are very different now, and what worked several years ago isn’t necessarily going to work under different circumstances. I hope the admins and board are at least willing to look at a reconfigure and see how it might work… maybe it doesn’t work, but it’s certainly worth studying.
