Since these volunteers are providing specialized help (not everyone speaks Spanish) on an ongoing basis, rather than a few hours for this event or that fundraiser, I think they are fundamentally different from other volunteers. Are they teaching in the school, during the school day? It sounds to me like they should be staff paid by the school district.

They are not teaching in the school during the school day. They are mostly parents who volunteer; one of the volunteers isn't a parent and does travel about 15 miles to teach. We are a private school, but still seems like something the school board should fund. It just feels like we would be setting some sort of precedent by doing this. Ultimately it will come to a vote, but I wanted to be able to give some insight from PTO perspectives.
