Hi there!
Perhaps the best idea is to meet in the middle -- It makes sense to use money you've recently raised on events or programs for the students this year and then take the remaining funds and donate it to the parent groups you'll be joining next year. Of course, you want to poke around to see if you can find your group's bylaws to see if there's any specific language addressing this type of event.
Sound like a big change for your school community. Good luck with everything and stay in touch. Happy to help as you move forward.

I'd say don't spend the money just to spend it. Use it wisely as you would if you were continuing on for another year. If you have a good use that would require you to spend all of it, then do so. If not, save some of it for the new schools/PTOs -- a little seed money might make a big difference as those groups try to get organized next year.
