This budget is anticipated to undergo some changes as the change in administration has resulted in a reevaluation of the roles of PTO and the administration in funding academic programs and supplementary materials.
At this time, volunteers are desired to join the Budget and Planning Committee to guide the PTO in the development of new processes for budgeting and spending. In general, the PTO is expected to take a more active role than in the past, when the administration had a high degree of control in spending decisions. The PTO is now expected to guide the spending, with the collaboration of the administration.
One big change to the budget this year, will be the inclusion of the Sally Foster funds. In the past, the PTO took in the checks but all money was disbursed directly by the school administration. This year the PTO will be setting up a process for approving and reimbursing field trip requests from those funds. This will provide greater transparency to the us of parent contributions. As in year's past, this money will continue to primarily fund field trips with money raised staying with the grade level which contributed it. Any unused funds will be returned to the PTO's general fund, for disbursement to school wide programs.
The PTO Chair, Craig Smith, or the Treasurer, Yvonne Cournoyer, can be contacted to volunteer for this committee or for questions about the current year's budget.
