Who Let Parkland Create Its Own Shadow School Board???

“Does all the money I donate go to Parkland Schools?
Yes, your money goes directly into Parkland’s Public Schools.  The Parkland Fund Board of Directors determines how donations are allocated and donors are able to earmark their donation to specific schools or programs in accordance with the Parkland Fund’s mission and vision.  The only portion that is withheld is a 4% administrative fee provided to the Broward Education Foundation as the fiduciary agent and pays for all tax filings and accounting costs related to financially administering the Parkland Fund.  The Parkland Fund does not have any overhead costs or salaries to pay and all work done by the Board of Directors is on a voluntary basis.”
