[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our local ES PTA has a sister school that they fundraise for/provides funds to. Instead of trying to discourage parent giving PTA’s that can afford it should work with a sister school.[/quote]

A teacher not being "allowed" to ask for supplies is a Principal issue.

The PTA Pres at the above school should have their MCCPTA Rep ask for a sister school, who will gladly share supplies, fundraiser for them, etc.  Any school can ask for this!

There are MCPS rules (a PTA cannot pay for a new A/C system or assistants in a classroom for example), but you are talking about PTAs.  Parents can do just about whatever they want (see turf fields at Sommerset ES, gorgeous grass field taken care of by booster at Churchill).[/quote]

You clearly have no idea how schools with actual needs work, but thanks for playing. Love that you're just referencing Bethesda schools as a sidenote. This county is: if I don't see it/it doesn't affect me, it couldnt possibly be happening somewhere else. Entitlement at its finest. [/quote]

There are very specific rules on what PTA's can pay for.  However, if as a teacher you don't feel your PTA is doing enough, volunteer to be on the board and fundraise.  Or, start a booster club/non-profit and fundraise.

MCCPTA is very selective on what schools they welcome in and who they help.    Don't count on them for much.[/quote]
