[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps other schools should disband their PTA and switch to PTO to ensure they are safe from the state PTA.  What does state PTA provide as benefit?  I hope there's something more than those negotiated store discounts.[/quote]

I can’t believe they’re going to steal 80,000 of TJ’s money because they don’t like the elected officers.  It’s definitely a cautionary tale for other schools to cut off their association with the PTA organization.[/quote]

Sounds like they're entitled to that money. I don't think they are able to steal money. More likely the elected officers were misusing it and brought this on themselves.[/quote]

The Virginia PTA would seize these assets and would freeze them until the TJ PTSA falls in line with reasonable standards for a non-political entity whose mission is to serve the school and its staff. A good start would be removing all of the individuals who belong to an organization whose entire animating purpose denies the legitimacy of the Class of 2025. Those kids are going to have enough challenges when they walk through that door with all of the vitriol that's been spewed in their direction - the absolute LAST thing they need is a PTSA with an Executive Committee that has written and published multiple articles telling them that they don't belong at TJ.[/quote]

You did not mind when Qarni, Brabrand and some school board members — people in much higher leadership positions than a PTSA board member —  said current kids didn’t belong at TJ.  Or when the principal told a school full of supposedly her students struggling during virtual covid school last sprint to “check their privilege.”[/quote]

Those people have actual policymaking responsibilities. In the case of Qarni, he has a responsibility to weigh in on the admissions question because it's under his purview.

And in the case of the principal, TJ students are privileged by definition because they attend the #1 public school in America. Many of those students are extremely privileged to have parents who were obsessed from an early age with optimizing their student's TJ application - those students did nothing to earn their parents.[/quote]
