Total
In November 2022, a new reporting structure was implemented collaboratively between the PTOs and the Administration. On a monthly basis, all PTO donations, whether paid directly to a vendor or paid to the school district, are submitted for review and approval by the School Committee. Prior to November 2022, only payments made to the school district were reported to and accepted by the School Committee. The donations report in FY’23 and beyond reflect this new reporting structure that more accurately reflects the support the PTOs provide to the district. Donations made by the PTOs are accepted throughout the year. All donations, including those made by the Parent-Teacher Organizations, are presented to, and reviewed by the Wellesley School Committee on a regular basis.
