Volunteers at a weekend work party at Fawcett Elementary School in East Tacoma came prepared to get their hands dirty.

“There was a lot of work that could have been done, but wasn’t,” said Ron Joslin, whose daughter is a third-grader at the school.
He and other parents complain that district officials scaled back the scope of work planned by several dozen parents working with more than 100 volunteers from Comcast.
