I am writing as Treasurer of one of four elementary schools in our area. Two of the schools have Charter Schools. They have their own PTO. We also have an Educational Foundation with representatives from each of the four schools.

We have a District that governs what we do.

I am writing because a letter just went out...basically announcing that a 'Subcommittee' from the District got together and have reviewed policies related to fundraising. They are proposing a 'cap' for net fundraising...and how certain fundraisers fit into their policy (specifically SCRIP and those for camp and book fairs).

They ask for input...but in the letter announce that a ruling with be adopted at their May meeting.

People are getting really upset that the District is getting involved...wanting to take more control of our fundraising... Even over-riding our own bylaws.

Does anyone have any experience with this... Any suggestions on how we can successfully fight back and be heard...?
