[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Charging the PTO is more than fair if:

- The PTO is a separate non-profit, AND 
- The building/space is rented by the charter school with a specific lease/use agreement, AND
- The PTO meetings are held outside of normal business hours, requiring paid overtime to hourly employees security, custodial, or administrator supervision to provide building access during these hours.

Carry on.[/quote]

The PTO is better off using the meeting room at the closest library. It's crazy to pay the school to use [b]their space[/b] while raising money for THE SCHOOL.[/quote]

It's not "their space". The space is rented by the school from a private owner to be used during certain hours. Anything outside of that is not just "free time".  Security guards and custodians don't volunteer to be there, and shouldn't be asked to. There are also liability and insurance issues for gatherings and events.

Even DCPL libraries require room reservations, and in some cases charge fees.   [/quote]
