How much money can PTAs raise?
As the charts below show, the amount PTAs raise is not just a matter of parent involvement. It's also determined by the number of families who have money to give.
The association between the percentage of white students and amount raised is not surprising. As the table below shows, white families in San Francisco are much more affluent than other racial and ethnic groups.

| Asian | 77k |
| Latino | 48k |
