PTO - Private Foundation or Public Charity?

I am filling out paperwork for our PTO to become tax exempt and I am stuck on the portion of whether we are public or private? Need help.

If you are a PTO for a public school, you will be a Public Charity.

When establishing a PTO, it's crucial to determine whether it should be classified as a public charity or a private foundation. Public charities with nonprofit growth strategy typically receive a significant portion of their funding from the general public or governmental units and have greater interaction with the public. In contrast, private foundations usually receive support from a limited number of donors and have less public interaction .?
