Funding Requests

How They Work

Article VII of the bylaws explains the procedure for requesting funding:

• The Annual Budget is determined at the October meeting.

  • The PTC will allocate funds in the budget for requested field trips at this time (limited by funds availability)

  • Additional budget items can be requested at the meeting, such as:

    • Equipment purchases

    • Assemblies/Events

    • Course Materials

    • etc.

  • Field trip requests should be submitted by filling out the Field Trip Funding Request Form.

  • Other requests can be made in person at the meeting.

• Requests can still be brought to the PTC meetings later in the year.

  • A Funding Request Form should be submitted at least 10 days before the meeting.

    • Requests submitted less than 10 days in advance will be discussed at the meeting at the discretion of the chairperson.

  • The individual making the request should then attend the next monthly meeting and discuss their proposal with the PTC.

  • The PTC will evaluate the request at the meeting.

    • If there is an existing budget category that is applicable, the PTC can apply funds from that category to cover it.

    • If there is no existing budget item to draw funds from, a reallocation of budget funds can be approved by a two-thirds majority vote of all PTC members present.
