The PTO and Mrs. Thompson have budgeted $50 for staff members, PreK-5, Intervention, Reading, OT, PT, Speech and Specials, to request for student incentives. These incentives will be requested through Mrs. Thompson using the O18 account.
Please follow the standard procedures for requesting through her. -
Teachers and staff may have a special request for a new project or purchase. Those requests need to be presented to Mrs. Thompson. She will review and address funding options at her level. If there is not funding for the purchase, she will present the purchase needed to the PTO in email. The PTO will review and if needed, present at the next PTO meeting for vote.
Please follow your standard procedures when requesting to Mrs. Thompson. -
The PTO writes a check to the Elementary for a predetermined amount at the end of the previous school year. This money is then moved into an account that used by Mrs. Thompson. The PTO and Mrs. Thompson then work out a budget to use for the new school year. These projects that are pre-approved can be used without asking the PTO for approval. If funds need to be reallocated Mrs. Thompson will discuss with the PTO the used of those funds and the board will approve or deny.
These funds are typically spent by use of PO.

If it is a question about getting funding for something, it is best to ask Mrs. Thompson. If she approved the request and can cover the cost of the request with funds at her disposal she will do so. She will bring any approved requests to the PTO for approval.
In most cases, requests should not go to the PTO first.
