Increased support for community-building events like Movie Nights, Brotherhood Dinner, Winter Concert, Talent Show,
and more.
Fall Planning to Support PS 20 Initiatives
School Support
Our first priority is to ensure our PTA budget can fill in any needed gaps in the school budget, from PTA assistants and IB consultants to printer paper, school supplies, and field trip buses.
Sustained Increases
Multi-year commitments to increase funding towards student enrichment initiatives (science and sustainability teaching and experiences, field trips e.g.), parent support (translation services, e.g.), and more.
One-Time Expenses
Funding toward single, impactful expenditures like improving the school library, enhancing the school auditorium, purchasing A/V equipment, or planning a green roof (e.g).
