Use South Sutter Charter School Funds Easily with Recess

Navigating the labyrinth of charter school funds can feel overwhelming. If you’ve ever spent weeks (or months) juggling vendor lists, endless emails, and confusing PO approvals, you’re not alone. One parent put it best: “That’s painful.”

Why has it been so painful to get a Purchase Order?

So you've sifted through your approved vendor list, found the perfect tutor for your child, and you're ready to sign up! Easy right? ... WRONG

Consider these common challenges:

• Locked-Up Funds: Once your purchase order is approved, the money is immediately deducted—even if the service isn’t ultimately used. Vendors can (and will) refuse to refund.
• Added Costs: Vendors often charge an extra $50 for processing charter funds due to the extra administrative burden.
• Time-Consuming Communication: Just one recent history class approval required 7–8 emails between parent, provider, and the school’s education specialist.

These hurdles not only delay your child’s access to valuable learning experiences but can also discourage you from using funds that could enhance your child’s education.
