Description Program Srvc AccomDescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxtProgram Service ExpensesProgramServiceExpensesAmt
The PTO provided $17,488 in funding for classroom supplies and instructional materials to support teachers and enhance student learning. Funds were used to purchase educational resources, learning tools, and classroom materials not otherwise covered by the schools operating budget. This program directly benefited approximately 500 students by improving instructional quality and supporting classroom-based learning across all grade levels.$17,488
The PTO provided $4,200 to offset transportation costs for student field trips, ensuring access to educational experiences beyond the classroom. Funding helped cover bus transportation expenses, allowing students to participate in curriculum-related field trips regardless of financial barriers. Approximately 500 students benefited from this program through increased access to experiential learning opportunities.$4,200
The PTO provided several staff appreciation events throughout the school year to thank staff for their continued hard work in educating students. Due to budget cuts in the school district, without funds provided by the PTO, staff appreciation would largely be missing from the school year. This program benefited approximately 45 staff members.$1,704
