Charter buses by John Hellwich https://padlet.com/hellwichj/ytb6l9q5345 The idea to comment on is whether or not your PTA can create a reserve fund in the case of a last minute need to charter a bus for a field trip, thus eliminating the need to charge more or refund in these cases en-us 2018-01-29 23:28:56 UTC 2025-11-24 13:26:02 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Carfront.png liability hellwichj https://padlet.com/hellwichj/ytb6l9q5345/wish/225894433 On the form someone wrote that PTA's can't fund transportation due to liability. We can work around that - they would just be gifting the school funds to offset the expense -- the district would still "own" the transportation and liability]]> 2018-01-29 23:31:42 UTC https://padlet.com/hellwichj/ytb6l9q5345/wish/225894433 $ amount https://padlet.com/hellwichj/ytb6l9q5345/wish/225897644 Is there a way to figure out what we would be asking of our PTAs? With 600+ students, I don't have a good sense of what a reserve fund should be like.

I do agree an amount to share would be helpful. ]]> 2018-01-30 00:13:48 UTC https://padlet.com/hellwichj/ytb6l9q5345/wish/225900242 How would we provide the funding for schools with limited funds? riverad3 https://padlet.com/hellwichj/ytb6l9q5345/wish/225900903 2018-01-30 00:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/hellwichj/ytb6l9q5345/wish/225900903 Is it possible to reserve a certain amount of buses each day? For example in another district, there were 4 buses available each day. Once the 4 slots were taken, schools had to pick another day. riverad3 https://padlet.com/hellwichj/ytb6l9q5345/wish/225901079 2018-01-30 00:21:12 UTC https://padlet.com/hellwichj/ytb6l9q5345/wish/225901079 To help with estimating reserve amount hellwichj https://padlet.com/hellwichj/ytb6l9q5345/wish/225929010 Please comment on how many times you have had to charter - thanks]]> 2018-01-30 03:44:13 UTC https://padlet.com/hellwichj/ytb6l9q5345/wish/225929010 When speaking to PTA, there was some concern regarding the transportation part, apparently they cannot participate due to liability issues. https://padlet.com/hellwichj/ytb6l9q5345/wish/226825390 2018-01-31 21:42:01 UTC https://padlet.com/hellwichj/ytb6l9q5345/wish/226825390 PROPOSAL hellwichj https://padlet.com/hellwichj/ytb6l9q5345/wish/227650108 Based on this, all principals ask PTA/VPO groups set aside $750 in a charter reserve fund...except EES which asks for $350. If a charter is used you request the reserve fund be restocked. Due to equity concerns I will lobby cabinet for the district funding this difference. ]]> 2018-02-02 19:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/hellwichj/ytb6l9q5345/wish/227650108
