PTA Financial Future:
The purpose is to:
Develop a 3-5 year financial planFunding requests & budget
Fund Priorities within 3-5 yearsConnected to school improvement/priorities
Create Financial Coordinator positionFacilitate financial work: fundraising, taxes, budget
PTA Financial FutureConsiderations to keep in mind:
Board changes every two years
PTA membership varies from year to year
Where/how is the funding focus connected to PTA Priorities and/or the School Improvement Plan?
How will we raise funds next year (ie Auction, Grants, Direct Donation…) to support our short and long term financing strategy?
Can we continue to fund what we have this year (field studies, teacher supports, etc.) and save towards priorities?
Do we spend less in the following years, as we save towards the priorities?
What would be our priorities?
Can we set a goal for a year from now, to see some short term success?
Should we develop some parameters for funding requests to ensure that the focus is connected to our priorities?
Possible Priorities:Develop Garden: grounds, structures & education.
To do this a dedicated staff member is needed.
Music program
Some staff development (service learning and/or writing)
Middle school initiatives (as yet to be dreamed up:)
Technology (computer lab update)
Math & Reading Clubs
Possible Priorities:Translation fees
