[quote=Anonymous]What do your PTAs spend money on? I keep reading that schools are better off when PTAs have more money but for the life of me I can't imagine what all of the "wealthy" PTAs are doing with their funding. Our PTA feeds families (which I agree is important, kids can't learn if they're hungry) but it isn't allowed to purchase educational materials for students. I heard one school PTA purchased a science lab for their school, but after that the school district made a rule that PTAs can't buy things that change a building b.c. the PTA was mad when the school got moved to another location. So, I'm left wondering what PTAs end up spending money on (besides giving it to teachers for training and conferences and school supplies and books in normal years). I think our PTA is well funded (or at least well enough). Maybe we're not being creative enough in envisioning what we could do. What does your PTA spend money on?[/quote]
