[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's because you have a PTO and not a PTA. PTOs can do whatever they want and it's usually just a club for the rich stay at home mommies to have coffee and chat at 10:00am on weekdays and spend other people's money on things their teacher friends ask for.[/quote] This. A PTA is part of a national umbrella organization and there are a lot more rules they have to follow, but overall it is better run than a PTO. One of my kids' schools had a PTO that was just a club for some moms. They could never get much engagement from the rest of the parents because they operated like a stupid high school clique that turned off everyone but the clique members. After it was a replaced with a PTA, engagement increased 10 fold.[/quote] Our PTO wasn't a club for mom's at all. It was to provide support to the school, staff and students. PTA wouldn't allow us to be a PTA and PTO was better as we didn't have to fund the PTA organization.[/quote]
