Training for PTSA – PTA and the Law

On October 11th the PTSA had 4 members (Amy Pitt, Karen Wright, Uli Staerk and Lindsey Tolson) attend a Washington State PTA led training class called PTA & the Law. Our membership chair, Carmen Love also took the class via a webinar in September. There are many rules and regulations to running a non-profit corporation, from the Secretary of State to the IRS. We are grateful to have the support and training from the state PTA level so that we can stay on top of all the rules. The sales tax section of the training gave us a good reminder about using our resellers permit when purchasing popcorn supplies since we are submitting an excise tax return in January (thus paying sales tax) for our monthly popcorn sales.
