In many schools, teachers help by distributing fundraising flyers, collecting order sheets, etc. If you're talking about actually purchasing items or donating to your fundraiser, you probably shouldn't expect it. For one thing, it's not unusual for teachers to spend hundreds of dollars of their own money each year to purchase classroom supplies and teaching aids not funded by the school. Here are two articles I like that talk about what you should and shouldn't expect from teachers: Get Teachers on Your Side and Let Teachers Teach.
