What is the PTA at Capri? The PTA – is a parent volunteer group supported by a larger State and National organization.  Through fundraising and other efforts, our PTA connects our homes, school and community to help children succeed personally and academically.  Membership dues are $4.85 per member and paid to the State and National association. The remainder of dues donated stays at Capri.	What is the Encinitas Education Foundation (EEF) at Capri? The EEF is a private, non-profit, volunteer fundraising organization that promotes and supports the children of the Encinitas Union School District.  Each school site has it's own EEF Chapter.  There are no membership dues at this time.
Where does your PTA donation go? The PTA raises funds to provide programs that enhance the curriculum and your child’s school experience during the current school year. An example of how PTA and EEF work together: the PTA organizes and funds student performances, while the Music consultant has been funded by EEF.	Where does your EEF at Capri Donation go? Funds raised through EEF at Capri provide instructional programs and consultants that enrich and supplement our curriculum beyond what State funding can provide. These funds may be carried over to another year allowing the planning for future consultants and programs.

Who decides how to spend PTA’s $? Each year a budget and proposed programs are prepared by the executive officers of the PTA. The proposed budget and plan are presented and approved by the general PTA membership during the  September PTA General Meeting.	Who decides how to spend EEF’s $? Similar to the PTA, Capri's School Site Council (SSC) made up of equal numbers of elected parents and appointed teachers and classified staff oversee and recommend how the EEF donations are allocated.  Decisions are based on an annual parent survey with guidance from our Principal.
