[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our PTA eventually decided to rotate meetings- 8AM (right after drop off) one month, and evening (7PM or something) the next. I think attendance is pretty light for both meeting times. Not sure if the attendees are much different for each meeting time or not. Usually attendance is better for the first 1-2 meetings of the school year and then drops off. I used to attend often but just read the meeting notes/summary these days. Am less interested now that my kids are a little older (which also seems common). Seems to be parents of the younger students (K-2 or 3)  who are more involved.  Probably because more parents go back to work FT as kids get older, and kid activities ramp up as they get older.

Anyway- maybe try rotating the meeting times month to month.

Or because the younger parents don’t know any better and naively think they are going to make a real difference and finally fix things. They they realize the PTA doesn’t really have much power or money to do much beyond the teacher appreciation breakfast or ice cream socials or whatever. They will get jaded in time.[/quote]
