[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the PTA was a truly armslength organization with tons of cash, sure. But PTOs are often shoestring operations with few people who do everything and the schools should be happy to get whatever they earn and offer, not charge them rent. That’s the sign of a terrible working relationship. [/quote] PTA or PTO? PTA (Parent Teacher Association) pays the national organization a fee so has an upfront cost to bear. PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) is the common name used in lieu of PTA, which has no national organization that collects a membership fee. My PCS does not charge our PTO for anything space related (storage of supplies, room for meetings, multipurpose room for school-related events, etc.) and accommodates a reasonable amount of photocopying. They provide an important community benefit that the school is more than happy support.[/quote]
