All FMS PTSA Board Members or Chairs have a budgeted amount of PTSA funds. The Annual Budget lists the amounts for each event. If you plan to spend more than your budgeted amount, you need to get prior clearance from the Treasurer or President. Reimbursement In order to be reimbursed for expenses from your budgeted committee expenses, the reimbursement process is as follows: If your purchase has not yet been made, get a check request form the Treasurer who will write you a check directly to the vendor for you. If your purchase has already been made, get a reimbursement form from the Treasurer who will write you a check. Many Falcon Middle School volunteers generously donate from their pocketbooks as well as of their time. If you want to donate, please read the section about donations below. Donations Many FMS PTSA volunteers pay for things related to their roles out of their own pockets. If you give the Treasurer a receipt or some description of these expenses a letter may be generated for tax purposes. It is also important that you document how much you spent of your own money so your successor knows the real cost of events and programs. The following year’s budget will be adjusted accordingly.
