All three controversial proposals are out of the bill that will soon stand before the legislature. The final bill to come out of the House Committee eliminates many of the controversial elements of the 1922 law and puts the burden of setting policy on local school committees. Presumably, that task should be easier than convincing state officials of the same, since the local folks see the benefits of PTO work every day. Most PTOers we talk to are comfortable that the pending legislation will allow common-sense business as usual to return to the state for next year. If you do have larger goals, save for those items through your PTO bank account, where your money is insured and may even earn interest.
Some programs even allow more frequent redemptions.
Take advantage of that opportunity, especially if your account is growing quickly. Several point programs have come and gone in recent years. Little Debbie's and Hefty both had now-defunct programs. Be sure to protect your PTO from the potential downside of these often-beneficial programs. Contact us .
