Brian introduced some of the concepts that we are working with for The Parker Fund this year.
Feedback from the group included:
-helping people understand the salary gap
-should we explore starting an endowment
-where are there areas that Parker could benefit monetarily from
-look at the sustainability of funding teacher salaries
-important to stress continuity of leadership
Key points for increasing current family percentages:

-connect people more to the daily life at Parker
-moving the needle 1% is difficult
-should we look at increasing the goal percentages?
