The Treasurer’s Report is a financial summary prepared by the PTO Treasurer that outlines the organization's income, expenses, and current account balance. It provides a snapshot of the PTO’s financial health and ensures transparency and accountability with members. Typically presented at each PTO meeting, the report includes:

• Starting balance from the previous report or month

• Detailed income received (such as donations, fundraisers, and dues)

• Itemized expenses paid out (such as teacher support, events, and supplies)

• Ending balance after all transactions

• Notable financial activity or updates

The report helps guide decisions on future spending and supports responsible stewardship of PTO funds.

Why Our PTO Profit & Loss Shows a Negative Balance — And Why That’s Okay!

Our current profit/loss report shows a negative balance — and that’s okay! As a nonprofit, our goal isn’t to make money, but to spend what we raise to support our students, staff, and school community.

This negative balance often reflects planned expenses like classroom supplies, school events, and appreciation efforts. Funds raised earlier in the year are being put to good use, just as intended!

We’re committed to using every dollar to make a positive impact.
