Firmo added that any contribution should be agreed upon by the majority of the parents or guardians after a meeting has been called to discuss the matter.

Firmo also reminded all the members of the teaching force that they should not engaged in any collection but it should exclusively be the job of the GPTA officers to collect and decide on the disbursement of such collections.

This is to save the department from any controversy connected with the holding of parties, especially in the public schools around the city.
