Anyone can set up a Venmo account using any name.School administrators should discuss potential concerns with representatives from the booster club, PTA or PTO. PTOs and PTAs are also legally separate from the school.īecause these are legally separate organizations, the District does not have the authority to prohibit them from having their own Venmo accounts. If the booster club does not belong to the school, but is instead run by parents, then it is a legally separate organization from the school. The booster club cannot have its own separate Venmo account.
