Again, the requirement is if money is collected, a percentage is given to the specials teacher. There is no requirement that parents donate money. At least, not at my school. Every email we get home about any event or fund raising is that participation is strictly voluntary and no one is required ot participate. But if the class does raise moeny for their class room teacher, some of that money goes to give gifts to the specials teachers.

So IF the room teacher collects money for the teacher THEN they MAY (depend on the school) have to give some of that money to the PTA for the specials teacher.

Emphasis on IF. [/quote]

That makes sense to me, and I have no problem at all with that policy.  I'm baffled by this PP, though, who seems to be implying that the gifts are required at her FCPS school.  Gifts should never be mandatory, and room parents should never be in the position of either trying to make them mandatory or feeling as if they're on the hook for the difference if others don't pay.  I feel like the following PP either has a very messed up school or is misunderstanding the policy and then over-stepping as a room parent.

The above is not correct for our Fcps school. Each room parent is required to give $50-$100 of gift cards to the pta for them to be given to the specials teacher. I am a room parent at a school like this. My friend is at another one like this. If you have more students or collected more money, they want 2 $50 gift cards.[b] If you have fewer kids or collect less, you have to still give two $25 gift cards[/b].[/quote][/quote]
