[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The solution is easy.  Form a PTO.  Transfer any money to the PTO before the PTSA is disbanded.
After all, it's not as if association with the clowns at VA PTSA adds anything.[/quote]

That was a great idea.  Spring Hill Elementary always had a PTO and when Colvin Run opened the massive amount of parents from Shouse Village [Vienna, VA] where the school is located wanted a PTO.

PTA's have school division reps , County Council, State Council, and $ flow out from the local school. [b]It makes zero sense that TJHSST ever was a PTA instead of a PTO.[/b]  PTA comments and supports on a district /division/state/national level items like  budgets, policy.  Politics.  If a school boards or in favor administration wants something done the PTA goes with the flow.  That includes curriculum input - curriculum fuzz or negatives are never against the party line whereas with a PTO the members are free to advocate for what is best for that individual school.

Spring Hill about 20 years ago did a massive legal address audit and cleaned out perhaps 100 students.  When the parents had the boundary change they made sure FCPS programs that would negatively impact class size and school staffing ratios never were installed.
