[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Were there non-PTA members voting in the recent election?! Yikes!

They should have had a sign-in sheet.

That is not what pp said. PP said people who do not currently have children ASFS joined the PTA and then voted in the PTA election as valid voting members.[/quote]

I am really surprised at the number of people who are cool with people who don’t have parents at a school joining and voting in a schools PTA... even if it didn’t happen that is whack and not sure why anyone is cool with it. [/quote]

If they rezone the whole county this fall and I find out that in three years my kids will be going to a different school, I will probably go ahead and join that PTA as well this year so I can get to know the school and the PTA before the transition. The bylaws fully support this and I see nothing wrong with it. [/quote]

And that’s appropriate bc at that point you will be zoned for that school. Though honestly VOTING when your kids aren’t attending for years... that would be crude[/quote]

That is your opinion. If National PTA felt this was problematic, they’d change the bylaws. [/quote]

There is a reason neighborhood schools are in their neighborhoods.  Turns out neighbors care about what happens at schools (not just elementary) in their neighborhood, regardless of whether or not they have children in the school or not.  [/quote]

Exactly.[/quote]

Mostly they care about property values and traffic. [/quote]

It’s laughable that the “poor Rosslyn” families don’t have cars.  Have you seen the number of cars on Lincoln st dropping off students? Many of them are BMWs.  So wasteful.   I’m sure that there are some families that don’t have cars, but to say everyone or even most families in Rosslyn are poor and/or don’t have cars is not believable [/quote]

It is where most of the poor families live though.

Where?  Rents are high there.[/quote]
