Our former K-5, had separate 5th grade activities and fundraising -- the insurance liability would have to fall under the school's if the PTA was not running the event... If its not a PTA function the school cant use the PTA's insurance, period.

This is a K-6 school. The fund-raising efforts are for moving up activities, trips etc. My interpretation of the separation is that PTA is supposed to be for all of the children, and that these activities are only for a select group.
There's been a push in our district to separate 6th grade fund-raising/activities from PTA. Funds are now paid directly to the school and tracked by an administrator there. A question has arisen recently as to Insurance liability; for instance, our 6th grade has always run a car wash, and provided our school district with a certificate of insurance from the PTA's carrier. Now that this "committee" is no longer a PTA committee, I'm stumped as to how to handle this. Have any of you ever been faced with this dilemma, and how did you go about handling it? Thanks for any input.
