A few thoughts come to mind. First, parent groups do give gifts to students. They can also donate equipment like e-readers to the school that would be kept on-site for use by all students. An e-reader for each student is certainly a big gift but isn't unethical. Secondly, I'm not sure about the money that "needs to be used.'' If there is money in the PTO account, it can be carried over to the next school year.
