Well, "normal'' is a relative term, but, still, it seems like there are lots of fundraisers at your school and, not very clear explanations as to where the money goes. The PTO board should be able to make information available on what is being raised and how the money will be spent. It sounds like the school and PTO may be teaming up on fundraisers rather than having the PTO manage/run the fundraisers and then fund the equipment, programs, etc. for the school. That seems to be muddying the waters for you. Ask your PTO leaders to clarify how this works and, again, what funds have been raised by the PTO and how it plans to spend it. That should at least get a few questions cleared up.
