Let me think on that question--I would say our school is basically financially independent of the church although the church provides the facility for the school at no cost really. The church will often make improvements to the facility and not ask for the school to pay for them.
IF we have a fundraiser for example we sell Christmas greenery, they may advertise it to the church and some church members will buy it, although not many. School activities are not really advertised to the church. For example, if we have Family Fun Night, the church would not know it.
For those of you in private school PTO's with an attachment to your church, how combined are the two?
For instance, does your school operate completely independently financially from the church or combined?
When you do school activities, ie: fundraisers, sales, etc... is it limited to just people directly affiliated with the school or is it open to church members too?
Are school acitivities, events or fundraisers published in the weekly church bulletin?
I'm sure some of this would depend on your school size & church size, but I wonder if it's a regular function of the two being affiliated and if something is standard?
