I don’t see it this way. I think parent volunteers are quite valuable, whether they are otherwise employed or not. I’d never consider a mom to be “over-involved” merely because she isn’t employed outside of the home. My objection is to parent volunteers having access to confidential information (or information that any standard of common sense would consider confidential, whatever the actual legal standard is). Parent volunteers can and do make very significant contributions to our schools - I just think that this is an inappropriate area for their involvement.</p>
