[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Besides those parents that work during the evenings, how are evenings ever such a problem? All parents face the same child care issues at home -- which is why PTAs provide child care. [b]And even if they do not, get a sitter the same way you handle other evening events you enjoy.[/b] It seems to me you aren't looking to make the meetings more accessible to everyone, you are trying to make them easier for you and your own schedule.

Evenings are the most flexible part of the day for the vast majority of people, though of course it takes some juggling. [/quote]

If the PTA doesn't have the funds for childcare and the community includes a lot of low income folks or single parents, this problem is not so simple to solve. [b]I'm not the OP, but you are writing from an extremely privileged perspective here.[/b]

OP, I like the idea to start early - maybe even 8 or 8:15 - and see if someone can do playground or gym supervision for kids in the time before school. [/quote]
