[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. The OP is ridiculous. I’m a class parent and I ask for donations for teacher appreciation day and give my personal Venmo as the only option. I’m also an officer in the PTA.

I’d be offended if someone would suggest I’m stealing money from the class fund or that I’m unethical.[/quote]

Class parent is different because it's not a non-profit formal organization.  But, I was co-class parent one year with a parent who collected the money and kept it all so I had to pay for all the parties out of my own funds.  Eventually she gave me maybe $40 at the end of the school year but it was clear she was keeping most of it.  The school refused to get involved.  The next year she was sole room parent and it was clear she did the absolute minimum and kept the money as well.  I always had parents buy their own gifts for teacher appreciation and just did a sign up genius for food and decorations and what ever wasn't donated I'd just pay for.  But, the difference is there is no accountability with room parents but a PTA/PTO/Booster club is a non-profit with accountability.[/quote]
