[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any truth that some of the PTA/boosters are set up as corporations and have millions in the bank?[/quote]

Millions no, but some have 50-100k or more a year in spending.  [/quote]

I have seen a fun run bring in 15k.  One school was getting so much money they didn't support smaller fundraisers that other parents proposed.[/quote]

That’s peanuts. Our ES PTA’s silent auction night usually takes in around $40k annually. [/quote]

This, we are lucky if we bring in $2K.  No big deal.  We make it work with what we have.[/quote]

Neat! I’m also a teacher in the same county who went from 300 from pta to zero from pta. Also, I never had to worry about anything. Fast forward to (being a choice) there are no funds. Asking for tissues is a huge ask. I’d never switch working conditions- the crazy people in this thread are the same parents upset their money might go to someone else. We don’t want your 500 Christmas gifts… we want parents  who actually care.[/quote]

The funny part is as a parent, I'd just send in supplies regularly especially if my kid said they were out or running low.  The same parents screaming about this would never think to do that.  Our principal would not allow teachers to ask but you shouldn't need to ask.[/quote]
