Each year almost 6 of our 15 positions are new K parents eager to get going. It's great. [/quote]

+1 this. If you don't like what your PTA board does and think they're unfriendly/disorganized, etc then run for a board position and be super friendly and organized next year. The PTA board is just parents who spend lots of their time taking on an inpatient second job. They're not in the customer service industry and sometimes they might be worn out or disorganized. If you don't like the way it's done, be productive and do it differently instead of just complaining about people.[/quote]

"run for the board"?  I have literally never been in a school where the PTA runs an open election.  The nominating committee picks a slate of candidates who are presented unopposed for the positions and the parents are asked to vote them in on a voice vote.  I have never been given a paper ballot to vote in a PTA election.   The idea that it's an open election is ludicrous.  It's just a bunch of cliquey parents self-perpetuating.[/quote]
