[quote=Anonymous]I think the PTA “fundraising” can look bloated depending on what runs through the PTA. At our school, we pay a field trip fee per student to the PTA either all at once or field trip by field trip. With nearly 500 kids, it probably looks like the PTA took in nearly $40k just based on field trip fees. But that all goes right back out the door to actually pay for the trips, and no kid is left behind if they can’t pay, the PTA covers the difference. Also, our WOTP school has mice. Tons of mice. They scampered around the floor while the kids were having nap time in PK. I recall before Murch was renovated that parents there complained about mice constantly. [/quote]
