[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP: I "think" the current officers have been working the phones and trying to convince people, though I'm not sure (they have certainly sent many emails to the PTA list serve - the only school-wide list serve we have - but I know that there are still many people not on that list). Right now we have "co-presidents", which I thought was legit but maybe it's not... But I hope it is because I don't see any one person agreeing to do it alone.

There has been NO effort by the school principal to highlight this issue or ask for people to engage, which is concerning to me.

I like the idea of reaching out to incoming K parents, though not sure where to get their info and how we would get it done with such little time left.

I am currently signed up to be the MCC-PTA delegate for our school, and I also serve on two PTA committees (including running an event this past year), and both my husband and I volunteer constantly for field trips, class parties, gathering money for teacher gifts, other events.  All of this seemed like a sufficient contribution and yet here we are stressing about the possible dissolution of the PTA and what we can do to prevent that.  [/quote]

Send out hard copy flyers in backpacks to reach the people not on the listserve. Obviously bring it up at your PTA meeting next week and try to get people to step up.

Go to the MCCPTA training next Monday and ask them for help. You need to set a drop dead date for your PTA - i.e. if no one steps up by June 15 we will begin the process to dissolve the PTA.

That process is outlined in your bylaws. As MCCPTA delegate, you should have a copy of them. If you don't, ask your current president (legally there can be only one). Find out who is listed with the MDPTA as president.[/quote]
