Mission

The metuchen parent teacher council (pt council or ptc) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

We help to promote the highest degree of education through efforts to: enhance the relationship between home and school so that parents and teachers may collaborate in the education process. Support the efforts of teachers and staff in the education of our students. Provide a forum for parents/guardians to communicate with the administration and each other at pto and pt council meetings. Support and encourage voting during board of education elections and encourage awareness of the annual school budget

What it reported doing in 2023

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 82% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue.
