Our principal typically polls the teachers and determines the school's needs. Then, he brings them to us. If it is major, we bring it up for a vote and approval. If it is something that can hold of for next year, we add it to the budget and approve it in August.

Granted, we have a very good principal that works with us as opposed to some of the principal's that I have read about in the forums.

Hi,

on this webpage is how a school does their wish list, they post what the teachers need and then parents can check on it anytime.

How does your PTO collect the school's "wish list" of funding needs? What is your process and/or forms for teachers to submit to the PTO for a specific grant? Timeline? Thanks!
