It also has a school cookbook filled with recipes that use those foods, as well as a technology club, a soccer club, an artistsclub, and a teachers lounge.All of this is partially thanks to a process called PB. Through PB, students, parents, teachers, and P. S. 139 staff decide each year how to use some of the schools money. Over the past three years, P. S. 139 has spent nearly $50,000 this way. Usually, only school leaders get to decide how to distribute a budget, but PB lets others weigh in. Shari Davis is one of the heads of the PB Project, a nonprofit group based in New York and California. “PB opens the door and invites folks to participate in decisions. People who are closest to the problems in a community are often also closest to settling them.” she told TIME for Kids.To start the PB process, members of a school community think about changes theyd like to see. Then they submit their ideas to a committee. It organizes the ideas into complete proposals (议案), which include the cost of each project. Lastly, every member votes for the winning projects that will be supported financially.PB Project co-founder Josh Lerner helped bring the approach to P. S. 139. He finds that leaders are pleasantly surprised by the winning projects, which help them “better understand what their communities need”, he says.PB isnt just for schools. Its also used by city and state governments around the world. New York City has been using PB since 2011. New Yorkers have spent more than $210 million this way. Theyve provided money for playgrounds, dog parks, and trees for city sidewalks, among other projects.24. What is special about PB?A. It allows ordinary people to play a role in decisions.B.
