This. Some schools just have too many things and could cut back. Then if you really care about the thing cut you are more apt to find the time to jump in. If not, well that is one less thing.

2. Make coming to PTA meetings a draw by scheduling discussions with the principal during them about things people care about - note the word discussion. It should be a chance to get views on the topic not just a lecture from the principal on what they plan to do.

3. People only have so much time. Requests for constant volunteer time (at DD’s school the room moms are ridiculously expected to attend monthly meetings for instance) eat into leftover volunteer time so be judicious.

4. Do not ask for more people than you need!! My PTA tends to require to people to do the job of 1 for way too many things. Again this uses up volunteer time and also discourages future participation if you feel like you were not really needed due to over staffing volunteer slots. [/quote]
