The appropriations process runs throughout the school year, generally completing three cycles of review per year.
Appropriations Process
• Appropriations Committee meets three times annually: December, March, May.
• A call for requests is issued via the The Scoop 2-3 weeks prior to committee meetings. Requests can be submitted by any member of the PTO (parents, faculty, staff). Requests can be emailed to the PTO Treasurer or submitted via the online form on the PTO website.
• Appropriations Committee reviews requests and recommends items for formal vote by General PTO Membership.
• A call for votes on recommended appropriations appears in The Scoop for two weeks. A non-vote is considered a vote in favor.

Through its fundraising efforts, the PTO furnishes funding not included in the county school budget for school equipment, field trips, classroom funds, and cultural arts activities.
