[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Drama over. Now let's see if the new PTSA officers live up to their promise to welcome the Class of 2025 and work for the whole school. I am going to hope for the best. [/quote]

Class of 2025 parent here. DS got in from Luther Jackson.

I don’t trust this PTSA as far as I can throw them. Their members have openly stated that members of my son’s class don’t belong at TJ, and there’s no way for me to know if they were talking about my son.

Looking forward to voting them and their like out next year. Lots of discussion in parent groups about this already.[/quote]

PP (also, OP!) here. We came from LJMS also. Your child will do great - LJMS is a great school and my kid was fully prepared for TJ, despite not prepping and not coming from one of the feeders.

I don't blame you for wanting to vote them out - I would if I could still vote (2021). But, it sounds like because of the resignation, there is a two year term of office for the current crowd - I was not familiar with the whole President Elect concept. I hate to say it, but I think that as many parents as possible will have to attend meetings, etc to make sure the kids, not politics, are prioritized.

best of luck and congrats to your son![/quote]

Another LJMS parent here (2021).  Your kid (and pretty much every other kid that got in this year) will do fine.  For most of our 4 years (other than volunteering when needed) we rarely paid attention to who was on the PTA or the elections.  The PTA for the most part is a set of volunteers with no real say in education policy or direction at TJ.  Not even sure why this turned into a big deal.  Their job is to work on behalf of the current students, not future ones, and if they do a bad job, they should be voted out.

While I'm ambivalent about the current PTA, I do believe they should be allowed to do their job given the fact that they were legally elected.   I am shocked at the shenanigans of the outgoing president.  As a democrat who was aghast at what Trump tried to do to stay in power, I did not appreciate all the efforts to try and cancel the elected PTA.    [/quote]

Didn't members of the elected PTA go against the PTA's charter and if so are there consequences for this? [/quote]
