Budget & Financials
The following budget has been prepared by the Beye School PTO Board of Directors and approved by the general membership.
Budget Structure
The fiscal year 2025 budget for the Beye School PTO is intended as a strategic and forward thinking document that both provides a plan for how the PTO will achieve its mission and the tools to ensure that all expenses are viewed through the lens of service to the mission. The Working Groups inside the Beye School PTO and the six mission areas are fundamental to the budget and how it will be used as a strategic tool; a brief discussion of these topics follows below:
BEYE SCHOOL PTO WORKING GROUPS
Programs Working Group - Oversee the coordination and completion of nonprofit program service offerings of the PTO. A "program service” is an activity of an organization that accomplishes its exempt purpose. The activities managed by the Programs Working Group all can be directly tied back to the exempt purpose of the PTO (bylaws Article II) and are not covered by any of the specialized Working Groups (i.e. Parental Involvement, Green Team, Fitness & Nutrition, and Public Relations).
Parental Involvement Working Group - Oversee the coordination and completion of all program services primarily focused on parents/guardians and their engagement with the PTO. This would encompass things like the Room Parents and also any recurring PTO-organized parent meetings that are not for the conduct of PTO business (e.g. do not involve voting by the membership).
Fitness and Nutrition Working Group - Oversee the coordination and completion of all program service activities of the PTO that are focused on fitness, nutrition, and/or health issues and topics.
Green Team Working Group - Oversee the coordination and completion of all program service activities of the PTO that are focused on environmental and/or sustainability issues and topics.
Events Working Group - Oversee the coordination and completion of all one-time or non-recurring service activities of the PTO. These activities, if they were regularly carried on, would fall under one of the specialized Working Groups or the Programs Working Group, however, these activities are not intended to operate on a recurring basis.
Public Relations Working Group - Oversee the coordination and completion of all activities of the PTO that involve communications from PTO leadership (Board and Working Groups) to the PTO membership, as well as communications from the PTO as an organization with external parties and communities. Regularly create and distribute to the membership a newsletter or flyer detailing the activities and accomplishments of the PTO.
Technology Working Group - Oversee the management and coordination of all technology platforms put into service by the PTO and provide recommendations to the Board on best practices regarding the use of such technology.
Fundraising Working Group - Oversee the coordination and completion of all fundraising activities of the PTO. Be responsible to meeting fundraising objectives established by the Board.
