[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know the difference - PTOs are private organizations that can make their own rule, but PTAs are part of the national organization and require parents to pay dues. They also provide a ton of resources to the school PTA - including access to fundraising materials, to speakers, help with community building, etc. What are some reasons your school chose a PTO over a PTA? I really can't see the upside other than being able to hoard money and not be transparent about it.[/quote] This was not my experience with the PTA. The PTA fees were significant and the benefits were almost non-existent for our purposes. The local Fairfax PTA is also pretty blatantly partisan and it felt like we were supporting a political group.[/quote]
