Loss Prevention Guide
GREEN LIGHT
 
Approved activities and events are listed on the GREEN pages. The California State PTA Toolkit and the National PTA Annual Resources for PTAs must be referred to for more information about appropriate PTA fund-raising activities and PTA policies and procedures.
Under no circumstances should any PTA unit, council or district sign a Hold Harmless Agreement for a vendor/concessionaire/service provider, or agree in any way that the PTA will be held responsible for liability. Review all contractual arrangements very carefully to make sure that they do not contain such provisions. If a contract includes a Hold Harmless Agreement contact the California State PTA Insurance Broker prior to signing.
 
All Vendors still need to comply with CONDITION (2) on Page (7).
