The Faith Family Academy PTSO at both the Oak Cliff and Waxahachie campuses set aside a substantial portion of its budget to fund projects that improve the school community at Faith Family Academy campuses. The mission of the PTSO is to support the educational community at FFA to ensure that ALL students develop their potential to the maximum.

FFA PTSO Funding Applications will be considered for projects that:

• Support our students in their educational & extracurricular experiences;
• Promote positive communication among teachers, parents, and the community;
• Enhance parental involvement as they become active agents and advocates of their children;
• Recognize teachers and staff for their efforts in helping students succeed.

APPLICATION PROCESS:

• Applications should be made to the FFA PTSO. Applications can be delivered to Guillermo Miranda or emailed to gmiranda@faithfamilyacademy.org.
• PTSO Funding requests are reviewed monthly by the PTSO Board, which is composed of representatives from school parents, teachers, administrators, and other staff.
• All funding requests are subject to the approval of the principal and superintendent with input from the finance office.

GUIDELINES: Approval for funding is based primarily on the following considerations:

1. The impact of the project on students and the school.

2. The number of students impacted (the more students affected means larger impact).

3. The ability of the project to continue without additional PTSO funds. In most cases, funding is not provided for on-going support of programs.

4. PTSO funds cannot be used to fund salaries, stipends or to purchase core curriculum materials.

5. New PTSO funding awards will only be awarded to past recipients if a final report has been submitted and is on file.

6. PTSO funding must be spent only on specific application requests. If there is a change in the request, the PTSO Board needs to be notified and will review the modifications for approval

7. The PTSO Funding Request Application must support and be consistent with school community’s values and goals as listed on the FFA website.

Hosting a fundraiser is also a possibility for your school or activity. All fundraising activities must be approved by the Superintendent as per the process in the Teacher/Staff Handbook.
