[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our public school (not NOVA) pools everything - there's a class donation pool and a good percentage of that goes to support other school staff- kitchen workers, custodial, etc. So I feel fine donating a bigger amount - finally $100 to spread across the school. We're not allowed to give cash directly to any staff (it must be pooled) and it must be anonymous. [/quote]

I like this approach better.

I would actually give more in this situation.[/quote]

PP whose school does this -- ours is fully organized via class parents - communicated through PTA emails to all families but the "local" mechanics are handled by the class parents.  We've always done via venmo.  So seems like it should be something any school could take on, if there's interest.

I'm fairly certain I've read that there's a max allowable to gift for the head teacher, so everything above that (and a minimum $50 or 10% or something, if total contributions are under the max allowed) must be given to broader school staff.  We're a pretty well off school so I have to assume that hundreds of dollars are going outside the class, and maybe $200 or something is what the head teacher keeps (with some other amount going to aides in the class, assistant teachers, etc)[/quote]
