PTO Today

Our school district has hired a financial consultant who claims our PTSO is in violation with several of our financial proceedures...such as teachers not being allowed to particapte in PTSO sponsored fundraising events such as Movie Night, Fall Festival Booths all of which provides a way for teachers to earn much need funds for classroom fieldtrips, supplies, etc... How much say do school district representitavies have over Parent Teacher Student Organizations as our Board is very diligent about collecting receipts to account for all monies dispersed???

I would clarify with the consultant why the teachers are not allowed to participate. It may, in fact, not have anything to do with what the PTSO is doing, but rather that it violates the teachers' contract in some way.
