  • Staff Funding Allocations, Ordering & Reimbursement

  • Your Info:

  • PURPOSE & PROCEDURE

  • Every year, Cherokee staff is allocated funds for the purchase of items to support/enhance student academic learning, leadership/behavior, and/or social-emotional growth.

    In order to help simplify, navigate, and streamline the process, the updated system/Jotform will house all the needed directions, information, and request forms in one place. 

    All staff will follow the process indicated below to make a purchase.  If you do not have monies indicated on the Excel document and need to make a purchase, reach out to Yvette.

    If you have any questions regarding a purchase or the process, please reach out to Yvette or Lynn.

  • Purchasing Options

    There are 2 purchasing options available:

    • Individual Staff Makes Purchase - You make the purchase on your own by paying "out-of-pocket" and seek reimbursement by submitting a receipt.
    • Cherokee Makes Purchase - You complete a request for Yvette to purchase the item from Amazon/School Specialty/Office Max/Staples using building funds (most of the time the school pricing is discounted).

  • Funding Options:

    Staff members may have access to 1 or 2 funding options:

    • PTO Allocated Monies: These funds were allocated in the PTO budget at the start of the school year.   
    • Cherokee Allocated Monies:   These funds have been reallocated to classroom teachers for the purchase of student/classroom items/resources/supplies that may be needed to support student learning for the remainder of the school year.

    Note:  Reimbursement can be submitted for classroom items purchased earlier in the school year as long as you have the receipt. 

  • Next Steps:

    1. Once you select which fund you are using and hit “submit” on the JotForm, you will be automatically redirected to the appropriate, district-required form.
    2. Complete the district's form and print the form on goldenrod paper.
    3. REGARDLESS OF WHICH FORM YOU COMPLETE – ALL COMPLETED FORMS (and receipt if you are seeking reimbursement) WILL BE GIVEN TO Yvette. 
    4. Yvette will submit all PTO requests on behalf of our staff and staff will no longer give their request directly to PTO.
    5. Yvette will update the Excel document so you know what monies are still available. 
    6. It is HIGHLY suggested monies (especially PTO) are used sooner rather than later.
    7. The LAST DAY to submit requests/reimbursement is MAY 6th.  Remember, you can seek reimbursement for items purchased earlier in the school year if you still have the receipt.
