  Case: Taking Money
Ms. White is a brand new teacher who is teaching first grade this year. At her Open House, a parent gave her a $100 bill and he said it can be used for anything she needs. Is it wrong for her to accept the money? Should she report it to administration or ask their opinion?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would thank the parent for the support but explain that I can not accept money. At my open house, I have a list of school supplies that we ask parents to donate to the classroom. I would inform the parent that the correct ways he can help is by donating supplies to the class, volunteering for the grade level, signing up to a mentor to a student, or attending field trip. As a precaution, I would like my administration know about the situation just in case something ever did come into question.

Comments: I think that this is he proper procedure to follow, as accepting the money off the record could cause it to behave more as a bribe than as a donation.
