I think any time you use the money raised for the children at the school to benefit a small population you have to be very careful. I especially think that is true with the officers. It just doesn't brief well for people to see adults benefitting when they support a PTO function that they believe will benefit the school and the children.
I don't think I would use PTO money for that, it is different than after an event where 45 people volunteered. I also would question if they are more valuable than others who don't carry that title. But it is up to your bylaws and group...
"When you stop learning you stop growing."
It depends on how your group, bylaws and memebrs (and IRS in some cases) defines perks and or benefit to individual.
All I know is that been discussed frequently here and there is no common consenseus (PTA/PTO) on this subject
I know some PTA's are forbidden and have 'Sunshine' or Thank you' allotments made up of money from members own pockets/sources (ie bearevement flowers, welcome, thank you's)

I am the PTO President at my son's school, and I wanted some feedback regarding using PTO money to buy officers Christmas gifts. I would like to buy the Secretary, Vice President, and Treasurer a small gift for Christmas to show my appreciation for all of their hard work. I would only spend about $10 per gift. I just made $2,054 for the school buy running a raffle by myself, so I don't think spending $30 for 3 gifts is asking too much. Am I right?
