i just dont understand how a person can take money from childern. and sorry to say most pto-pta's are for the most part run by females mothers themselves.doesnt any one look at the numbers when reports are read. We have a small school if money was missing we would see it fast.

A couple of things from the posts above.
1. You can get insurance, and it will cover you in the event of missing money, only if you follow there rules and do things such as getting 2 signuters on every check. Have the monthly statement signed. 3. Have audits.

2. I stepped into a PTA in CA that had not had an audit in 5 years. It was one of those cases where you draw a line, and start from scratch.

3. There are boards (the booster club I am part of is doing this next year) who have husband and wife as officers on the board. President and VP. This is ok, as long as only 1 is a signer of the checks.

You get the, ohh I cant make the meeting because of ?. Ohh I left the statement at home. It happens in all sorts of non profits, not just PTA and PTO.

Hi tryinghard -

The insurance covers your leaders (not by name) and your group. The insurance (provided premuiums are paid :)) carries on, even after current leaders leave. Highly recommended.

There was a story in the Jackson TN paper that the PTO President in a little TN town :eek: had stolen $400 out of the PTO account and was arrested.

This is a perfect reason you need insurance! It would be covered if you have proper insurance.
