The registration numbers reported at the AGM though are just the number of individual school PTAs that have registered (ie 56 schools had registered).

They are interesting but I wouldn't be trying to infer anything from those numbers without knowing :

- which schools (ie socio economics of where schools are located)
- how many students/families at those schools

I think 56 PTAs signed up to the fund raising program by the time of the AGM was pretty significant though and shows substantial interest and momentum in a very short time.

As others have posted here before, schools in the USA are becoming more dependant on raising funds themselves and ESN has done a fantastic job of leveraging this.
