PTO approves a budget each year in the summer, and any purchases must be made within that budget. The following are the approved pools of funding that teachers can currently use. Additional budget items can be approved at our next meeting. If you have a request, please email.
** ALL PTO purchased items (except gifts during Staff week) shall remain with the school.
TREASURER EMAIL ADDRESS: earhartptotreasurer16@gmail.com
Amazon Purchases:
Please email the treasurer for any purchase requests through Amazon on already budgeted/approved items (including creative cash). PTO has a tax-exempt Amazon account. If you have already made your purchase, use the "refund" forms below.
Refund - Teacher's creative cash:
Stipulations: Purchases can be refunded for classroom items or classroom pet supplies. The items shall be used to support the educational experience of students and will become school property where applicable.
How much and who? $100 for traveling certified staff and up to $200 for all other certified staff. You can view this list to be sure. ***A receipt is required for refunds.
Teacher Grant Request Form (requires approve before purchasing):
Stipulations: Purchases of enrichment activities that creative cash does not cover. Items should benefit more than one classroom and shall remain with the school if approved. This will be voted on in our next meeting. Please plan ahead.
How much and who? $2000 total is available, and it is open to any staff providing enrichment with students. This however, is first-come come first-served.
This form is for all other approved/budgeted purchases: Ensure your purchase was a budgeted item or APPROVED grant, and complete this request with a receipt.
Camp Trailer Reimbursement Form:
PTO is offering a reimbursement of .35 per mile based on a standard table of known camps for ANYONE who is willing to haul a camp trailer. Teachers, please print this form and sign it with your driver and then leave in in PTO binder above the mailboxes in the office. Because we are not asking for receipts, it needs to be physically signed.

We have rolled the unused budget for explorer gear into this new year. If you have ideas for outdoor learning or camp items needed, please send us an email @ earhartmagnetpto@yahoo.com.
