[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]See if a few will sign up for part of the year - three people to do president, for example, switching every few months. 
Send out a letter to community to remind them of what will be lost if they do not have PTA. Reach out to potential K parents directly.
Also, some schools combine PTA withother schools.[/quote]

Maryland PTA does not allow co-presidents, so you can't switch out Presidents every few months.  Depending on your PTA bylaws, you could have a President and President-Elect who would in effect serve as co-presidents ,with the president-elect taking on the role of President the next year.  That also allows for continuity.

As a PP mentioned, without a President Treasurer, and Secretary the PTA is legally required to dissolve.  We had an issue like this in our school and basically sent that information out the parents, letting them know if no one stepped up, the process to dissolve the PTA would begin.  We listed all of the programs and services the PTA provides and explained that none of these things would happen next year if someone didn't step up.  We wound up filling our whole board after that message went out...

At this point in the year, I would contact your MCCPTA cluster coordinators for your cluster and even reach out to the MCCPTA Board to ask for assistance.

I am a PTA President so I know the amount of work involved and understand why people would be hesitant to take it on, but it IS doable (most of my board including myself work full-time, too).

Good luck![/quote]
