[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thank you so much for the responses.  I guess I should clarify I don't think we have "too much," I'm more just curious what PTAs are allowed to spend on because I feel like I keep reading about how one of the benefits of "wealthier" schools is the amount of fund raising PTAs are able do, but I'm not sure what that means in practical terms.  I've been told our PTA cannot pay for teacher salaries (or any part of salaries), textbooks, or "permanent improvements to the school."  I guess it would be interesting to know which school districts y'all are in, if you're comfortable sharing.  I'm in APS, but the limitations I've mentioned are from VA statewide (or so I have been told).

To the PP who posted about spending money and not hoarding it, I believe we do that in a normal year, but the rules changed a bit temporarily because of COVID.  Our PTA wasn't able to spend on some of the end of year things they usually do, and they are (understandably I think) nervous about how much will be raised this year.[/quote]

I'm the one who posted about a library remodel and landscaping, etc - we're FCPS, but I think PTA rules are probably set by the PTA organization (it's an organized group, there's a county-level PTA and there's a State-level PTA.[/quote]
