I sent out an e-mail two days ago to the PTA Chairperson expressing my proposal and have received a pretty prompt reply that the school district does not allow to hire anyone or business for profit on a school activitiy.

In my view, public schools do businesses with private companies all time. Are there more restrictions with the PTA, or PTA sub-groups like the Graduation Planning Committee? Will anyone be able to provide me some suggestions? Are there alternatives I can pursue that will convince them to reconsider:?:
Thanks for any advice.

As for giving shows away not being a good idea, I've done it for 5 years in my school, and word of mouth is priceless! -snip-

However, I do think that he will not want to see that I am selling slideshows and making big profits from his students. This means that I have to keep the DVD price to very low, or almost no profit, in order to get his approval.-snip-
