How Does the HPTA Allocate Its Funds?Proceeds from the HPTA's fundraisers go into the general HPTA budget, from which funds are allocated each year. The HPTA school-based boards typically utilize two thirds of the budget to fund specific school needs. The remaining one third is used for system-wide activities such as teacher support, parent programs, The Source Book, and our award-winning newsletter, The Runner. Since its inception in 1993, the HPTA has budgeted and spent over $1.8 million towards the support of the entire Hopkinton School District. The HPTA's funding philosophy is to provide support to all Hopkinton students, through activities such as enrichment and extracurricular programs and teacher support. Budget allocations are determined by the HPTA Board; school-specific and townwide board perspectives are considered. Additionally, input from each of the principals and the Superintendent is solicited. If you have questions or comments, contact HPTA Co-Presidents, Judy Lankford (judy.lankford@verizon.net 508-497-2548) and Patty Doshier (pdoshier@comcast.net 508-625-1413), or the HPTA Vice President at your child's school. This year’s budget can be found below or in the online Source Book. Click on the following for a printable budget in pdf format. 2008-2009 Hopkinton Parent Teacher Association Budget
