I don't know if this is true in all states but in my county teachers have to report gifts in excess of $50. Now, this rarely occurs from an individual family, but if families take up a collection to buy a classroom teacher a gift and it exceeds this amount there are forms required. Principals in my county are not allowed to accept ANY gifts from teachers, parents, or students. I once had a parent offer to put window tint on our computer lab windows b/c the afternoon sun was brutal and the district admin got wind of it and said it wasn't allowed b/c it would put us in a position of favoring his children for years to come.
