Sure.
Let's pick Keene Mill Elementary School. 760 students. Let's say Boosterthon consumes 1.5 hours of instructional time. Let's say an instructional hour is worth $13. Multiply it out. $14,820. Boosterthon takes $2,000 off the top and then 48%. Whatever is left is for the school. But you need to subtract $14,820 from that, as that time is not free.
Boosterthon was founded by Chris Carneal, trained as a church planter. He admits his background as an educator comes from the fact that his mom was a teacher.
The #2 man at Boosterthon is Brett Trapp. Trapp took 5 years to get a degree in English. His resume is full of holes. He seems fixated on the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, that may explain some things.
In short, Boosterthon is a bad idea.
