  1. PTO Fall 2011 Survey Priorities and Feedback

  2. Key take aways • Strong response - 72 people responded to (and finished the) survey from October 12th through October 21st • Positive - Mainly supportive comments throughout the survey responses • On track - Respondents seem to feel that the PTO has the right priorities; keep funding the way it is • No general funds to playground – grants OK • Top priorities – classroom support, starting enrichment/tutoring programs • Important – fund field trips and scholarships

  3. Spending on track? Answer = YES The bulk of the approximately $16,000 PTO budget last year (not counting playground which was in a separate account) was spent on 1) Classroom support, through grants to teachers and 2) sponsoring events and activities at the school.

  4. Spending Comments

  6. Priorities Comments

  7. Playground In addition to funds set aside in the playground account, the PTO will need to contribute an additional $18,000 to finish the garden/walking path projects as designed and approved last year. We are planning to grant write for those funds but if we do NOT receive that funding... # of responses Do you think the walking path should be our priority? Would you be willing to participate in additional fundraisers? Do you think the garden should be our priority? Do you feel finishing these playground projects should take priority over some of our general budget expenses?

  8. Fundraisers # of responses If we were to do any additional fundraiser(s) outside of the Fund Drive and See's Candy (scheduled for this holiday season), which would you prefer?

  9. Fundraiser Comments

  10. Harvest Fest Answer = YES The PTO generally tries to provide events for free to students and families (movie nights, Art Walk reception, Winterfest/Festival of Lights) or for a slight cost ($.25 tickets used for HarvestFest games and activities). Would you be in favor or opposed of slightly increasing the cost for HarvestFest tickets ($.50) and/or movie night admission ($.50 - $1.00)?
