[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a Chesterbrook parent, but the PTAs actually do "raise" all the money and then use it towards programs at the schools. All of the money is spent on programs for the schools. So while I don't understand the $500,000, $300,000 would have been pretty accurate. All that money may not just be going to help the actual school day though. There are a lot of evening, afterschool, and summer programs that the school raises money for.[/quote] Not a Chesterbrook parent either, but I think what matters is the net profit, which allows the PTA flexibility in their budget to do things without credit. Don't get caught up with "raising $300,000" when your expenses are $240,000. You could "raise" 1mil each year, but that would be meaningless if your expenses were 2mil. I'm glad one of the posters did a fact check on the balance sheet and didn't buy into the "my school is so great because the PTA raises $500,000 each year" comment.[/quote]
