PTO Donation to teacher

Hi Smoore21,
This is probably ok as it is in the general realm of supporting your group's mission of supporting the school community. If you feel at all uncomfortable about this, you could always put out a request to parents to donate to this cause and keep it separate from the already raised PTO funds.

Sounds like you are a very caring community. Our thoughts are with you and your teacher.

Hello,

I'm new to these forums so if there is a thread that already discusses this, I apologize.

I took over as our PTO president this school year and am working hard to learn 501 rules and statutes. We recently have a teacher at our school that has been battling breast cancer. Due to extenuating circumstances, our staff made an appeal at our December PTO meeting that instead of providing the staff with a holiday meal (We had previously allocated $200 for this expenditure) that we donate that money to the staff member that is fighting cancer.

I'm trying to make sure that this is legal and what is the best way to go about all of this. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks so much!
