Talk about fundraising burnout! The parents at this school must be buying locks for their wallets. At most well-working schools the goals (and the fundraising) is shared. The idea of parents trying to differentiate between a Principal's fundraiser and a PTO's is just not realistic. To parents, it's all just the school reaching into their pockets again, and -- long-term -- that's a recipe for turned off parents and (ironically) lower fundraiser earnings. Not good.
