Any time you use the PTA budget, there are steps that need to be followed. Please follow these instructions to receive any expense reimbursements or to submit a deposit. If you have any questions, please reach out to current Westgate PTA Treasurer (Colleen Crandall) at westgateptatreasurer@gmail.com.
Please be a good steward of our PTA budget. The smarter we spend, the further our resources stretch to fund as many rewarding activities as possible for the Westgate community.
PURCHASING MATERIALS/ITEMS:
Committee purchases are reimbursed by the Treasurer and deducted from your committee budget. Always obtain a receipt. Since the PTA is a 501C3, it is sales tax exempt. Show and use the TAX EXEMPT LETTER prior to your purchase. Sales tax is not able to be reimbursed, except in the following cases:
Costco & Sam’s Club – The tax exempt letter cannot be used; however the savings offset the tax in most cases. Tax will be reimbursed.
Amazon – We have a non-profit PTA account for Amazon that is tax exempt. Please contact Westgate PTA Treasurer – Colleen Crandall at westgateptatreasurer@gmail.com to use this. Note, it is NOT a prime account and thus has regular shipping timeframes, so please plan ahead.
Purchases exceeding more than $25 over your approved committee budget will need to be discussed and voted on at a PTA General Board Meeting.
The PTA has a printer, copy, laminator and a limited inventory of office supplies. Please leverage those before spending extra funds for these purposes.
Please check the PTA storage closet and review our inventory of supplies before making a new purchase.
Please keep a record of your expenses and manage your committee’s budget.
