Just for clarification, I am aware of my obligations to provide 990 info to anyone who wishes to view it, and that is fine. I don't, however, see the need for the district to see every deposit record, and every check written. Thanks.

Are there any legal eagles out there? I am currently treasurer of our elementary PTO, and have come across an interesting request. Last week, our district finance manager phoned our PTO president and requested copies of last year's income and expense reports for our group. He wanted to know how much money we had raised, and how we had spent it. Our president referred him to me, and I am expecting a call soon. I am inclined to deny his request for a few reasons. First off, why does he feel he needs to see it? Our funds have little or nothing to do with the district. Second, our district is strapped for cash, and I am suspicious that this may become a "your school has a lot of money, why should the district pay for that?" situation. The whole request makes me uncomfortable, especially so out of the blue. I would show these reports to any of our parents, with pleasure, but the "big wigs" make me nervous. My question boils down to this: Am I legally obligated in any way to turn this information over to the district? Thanks for your feedback!
