[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] But the difference here is that it's not technically a PTA anymore. A completely separate non-profit can make its own rules. I think if you don't want to join, then you just don't join - it's not like you don't get to go to the school. [/quote] It is very common for a parent teacher organization to be a separate 501c3 -- for starters so people can deduct their donations to it on their taxes. Charters are already a nonprofit, so it's perhaps a little less essential, but if you are raising funds etc for a regular public school, then donations to the school wouldn't be tax deductible without an organization (by whatever name) with 501c3 status.
