[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting thread. We have a mix of personalities at our school on the PA. The biggest problem is getting enough parents to step up and volunteer. That often leaves the donating and volunteering to a small group. The volunteer needs change every year, dependent on the PA President and their vision. I think much of this should be institutionalized to the school to handle, especially in a private high school. Reduce the volunteer ask to essential volunteer roles, increase PA dues to cover the costs (one annual contribution vs many ask throughout the year), still allows parents to participate, but without making being on the PA a full-time job[/quote]

PA should not be parents all in the same friend group or country club. It is polarizing.

PA president was relatively new to the community and despite many parents interested in the position who had been volunteering and donating money for years - a random person who is friends with board members and other higher ups somehow landed a spot as the PA president. 3/4 of the rest of the PA boards and committees are all from the same club(s). This is not how you build community but starting to think maybe they do not want to build community. It is just for appearances. [/quote]
