Hello Colleagues,

I'm hoping someone can help me talk out how this should play out (no pun intended). We all know how many teachers supplement their classroom supplies using their own money due to organizational budgets. The School wants to start recognizing them for these contributions. Here they bring in not only things like markers, paper, etc., but also extra reeds and other music equipment. Since they do this knowing they cannot be reimbursed, the school wants them to submit receipts to me and then I would process and prepare GIK receipts. Is this legal?

I know that when it comes to reimbursements, the preference would be to have them give to the Annual Fund then the school would buy the supplies. Teachers don't have p-cards or any kind of purchasing power so someone would have to monitor this process, and we don't have anyone to do that, so teachers giving to the AF is out.

I'd love to hear from other small schools if you have this issue and how you handle it.

Thanks!
