School tells parents: Keep your money

The public dispute follows years of disagreements between parents and Ramsey school officials over how fundraising money is spent. The parents of the Ramsey International Fine Arts Center Foundation have donated more than $280,000 to their school in south Minneapolis in the past dozen years. That still wasn't worth the aggravation to school officials. In a rare move, the Minneapolis School District sent a letter to the foundation, telling its leaders not to contact school staff, administration or the principal about fundraising issues. The principal sent a letter halting the annual Read-a-Thon and Plant Sale fundraisers for the foundation.
