Question: Does your PTO include school Athletics?

I am curious if most elementary school PTO's have school Athletics as a part of their organization or separate? I am asking because in the past Athletics and the PTO have been separate entities, but the new principal is asking us to take this on.

Hi there,
PTOs often support after school or enrichment programs that would involve fitness or sports and they may even fund some equipment for athletic programs, but it isn't common for PTOs to be responsible for any PE or athletic programs that are part of the school's curriculum. Try to discuss this a little more with the principal to see what she's looking for and then your group can make a decision based on what you are most comfortable doing.
