Advice from PTO Today

The way you would have to do it is donate the money to the school and let the school use it for bonuses. It creates a lot of issues, though, and chances are good your district/school wouldn't allow it. A more direct way to help the teachers would be to give them "grants" to be used for classroom needs. The average teacher spends hundreds of dollars a year of his own money on items to be used in the classroom. Helping out with that will in a sense be a bonus for teachers, and if you let them spend the money however they see fit -- as long as it's on classroom/professional needs -- I guarantee they'll appreciate it.

We "credit" each teacher a $100.00 and then they have to produce receipts in order to get reimbursed. That way, PTO is buying their goods, but they know what they can spend.
