[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really appreciate the PTA volunteers who collect money because it's a pain and it opens you up to these kinds of unfounded allegations.

Unless you have a concrete reason to suspect something wrong I would give it a rest OP.
It's very normal and you will encounter it again and again.[/quote]

It's not normal and it's illegal and PTAs are expected to act in ways that uphold the public trust. I was a PTSA treasurer and co-mingling PTSA funds with personal funds absolutely should not be done.

So no, don't give it a rest, OP. Thanks for asking.

A few years back, a PTA treasurer in MoCo co-mingled her personal funds and PTA funds. She spent PTA funds on vacations, personal meals, and more. She spent 8 months in prison. It took an enormous amount of time and resources to bring this person to justice, but MCCPTA did it - because it operates in the pubic trust.[/quote]

It’s not normal when the PTA budget is $100k a year. It’s very normal when the budget is $1k a year.

Nothing illegal about it, unless the money is used for other purposes than intended. Not the best practice, but also not illegal.[/quote]
