What needs district approval?
From a National PTA perspective, district approval is primarily needed for activities that intersect directly with the school's operations, facilities, students, or where the PTA is making a formal donation to the school. The PTA maintains independence over its internal budgeting and fundraising decisions, but collaborates closely with the school administration to ensure harmonious operation.
Who can sign checks?
At least three elected officers, two of whom must be the president and the treasurer, shall be approved to sign checks and have their signatures on file at the bank. The authorized check signers must not be related by blood or marriage or reside in the same household.
