How do you want to spend the PTA surplus?
At our PTA meeting last night, we discussed possibilities for how we might spend extra PTA funds (meaning funds leftover at the end of this school year that are not needed for getting next year's PTA started.) Since our FCPS budget is once again in jeopardy of not being fully funded by our Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, the PTA Board voted to support establishing a fund for Ms. Dammeyer to use to support our school next year. While a PTA cannot fund an employee's position, the PTA can fund purchases of goods for the school. This can free up money for Ms. Dammeyer to fund part of an instructional position, providing more teaching staff for our school in the oncoming budget cuts. This is a question for the entire membership to decide. If you have a different idea of how you'd like to see excess PTA funds spent, please email Trish Vanstory with the idea and its approximate cost so we can present the idea at our next PTA meeting.
