Thank you everyone. Collectively from the posts, we got what we needed. Thanks so much for taking the time to answer!!

Ok got the fund request form on here that my PTO uses . It is under teachers cat. In Other subcatgory. Hope this helps.

I am chairing our projects & goals committee this year. It is our pta committee that funds requests. I worked on revamping the entire process this summer. Basically, anyone can request not just teachers b/c I think parents should be able to request things for the money they raise/donate too (since we are a PARENT/teacher org). Anyway, I created a google doc form that people have to submit requests. If they don't fill out the form, we don't look at it.

I'll point you to my webpage just because it probably explains it better than I am here...

www.ohepta.org/Projects___Goals.html

In the past, our requests were not complete (not enough info, didn't know how it aligned to the school goals, etc.) and our committee was rather closed. So, this year, I'm all about making it transparent and everyone knowing what's going on.

The other thing we are doing is splitting our funds into long term and short term goals. Otherwise we will never have enough money for those big ticket items. They may take a couple of years to get but at least we are funding them. Our list of requests will be a on-going ranking... as items are requested, the committee will review it and rank it among the other items. As money is available, we will buy the items at the top of the ranking.

I hope this makes sense. I've been working on this process for months and I don't know if I make any sense these days!

We have a form you can follow I will post it on here and that way you can get an idea. Melissa

Our school budget has been cut. Which means our PTC is getting more requests from teachers to fund clubs or purchase items for its classroom for special projects. We do have a dedicated amount that we can use for request like these. HOwever we are looking for guidelines to use to approve these requets.

Something like:

1. The request must be made on the official Funding Request form
2. The principal must review and approve your funding request prior to the PTC reviewing it.
3.Teachers may only submit X requests a year

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
