[quote=Anonymous]The term "PTA" is a registered trademark of the national PTA organization. If your organization is a "PTA" then it has to be a member of the DC State PTA, and has to pay dues to the state chapter and the national organization for each member. In DC, the dues are $5 per member, with $1.75 of that going to the national. At my school the PTA dues are $5, a pass-through of the state dues. In theory you have to be a member of the PTA to vote in PTA elections, but I have never seen any attempt to enforce that. The PTA also conducts LSAT elections as a courtesy to the school, and those are open to all parents. In addition to the $5 dues, my PTA asks for $65 per child to cover the cost of supplies purchased by the PTA, and $150 per family plus $50 per child to help fund PTA activities. This is voluntary.[/quote]
