We are Superstars!!
The PTO is organized exclusively for educational purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is not organized for the private gain of any person. (reference: Article II of the PTO’s Constitution)
An annual budget is presented to the membership for approval at the first PTO meeting in the Fall. It is based on the preliminary budget prepared by the Treasurer with input from the Board, staff, and committee chairs. The preliminary budget is presented to the members for approval, typically in the final PTO meeting of the previous school year. It includes the personnel commitment with the Cupertino Union School District (CUSD). The PTO Board is required to honor its financial commitment with CUSD.
The budget expense items fall into four categories:
Program Staff Cost (under CUSD contract): Music & Arts, Fun Math, Instructional Aides, Teacher Grants etc.
Programs: Classroom Supplies, Field Trips, Chromebooks, Garden, Project Cornerstone, Maker Cart etc.
Events: Fall/Harvest Festival, Walkathon, Science Fair, Staff Appreciation Week, etc.
Operational Expenses: Office Supplies, Insurance Premiums, Compliance Fees, Bank Fees, etc.
The PTO Treasurer prepares a financial report for each Executive Board meeting to present the starting bank balance, monthly gross receipts and expenses, ending bank balance, and year-to-date performance to budget. The fiscal year begins July 1st every school year. For questions, please reach out to treasurer1@stevenscreekpto.org

Thanks to all the PTO auditors in the past years for providing a necessary “third-party” check on the financial record-keeping processes of the PTO. By September each year, an audit report is required to be completed and submitted to the PTO Board for review. Below is an archive of audit reports.
