New PTO Drama

So the PTO staff finds out that some of the teachers are not passing out the notes we make to the students. I don't believe they are doing it to be malicious, I think they just don't place any importance on our group or what we do. So I whip up a note asking them to please make sure notes get to the students and explain what money that we raise goes to them so they see that it's in their best interest...

Here's the note;
Dear Teachers and Staff,
It has been brought to our attention that students may not be getting full access to our notes, or information on our current programs. We do understand that you are are all very busy and have full schedules, however without your help in spreading the world we get fewer responses from our Monroe Families. This is going to be a very trying year on us financially due to the existing economical conditions. Our budget this year is $19,215,00, approximately $4000.00 of that is for teacher/staff resources not counting field trips or teacher luncheon. Getting the information out our fundraisers, raffle tickets, candy grams, and family fun nights is essential in order for us to meet our budget. Please take the time to read our notes so that you may be able to answer questions to students or remind them of deadlines. We appreciate your help. We will be posting an envelope on our PTO board for any questions, requests, or complaints you might have. Our goal this year is to make our school into a community, for too long have the teachers, parents and students been separated, only together can we make this a school we are proud of.

Do you know the teachers went crazy. They are offended. I have even been told they are rallying against me. Not sure what that entails, lol! We have been warned that now all notes must be approved and initialed by the president of the PTO, then approved by the secretary and the principal before they go out! What amazes me is I thought that being a tax payer, and a parent that I paid for the services of the school. So in all truth the principal, secretary and teachers work for ME!!! Isn't it funny how teachers, doctors and others think just because they have a license or a degree in something that you do not they feel they can over power you? Unfortunately for them, I am not one of those people. I educate myself in my rights and stand firm! Tomorrow is our PTO meeting, I'm sure it will be brought up and I have been informed I have the right to speak for myself and defend what I did. So perhaps tomorrow a new blog will be needed :)
