We have so many resources on our site that focus on how to start a PTO and all of those resources work with the assumption that your group would be led by a board. It's unusual to have one person running the show-- almost by definition a PTO, a parent teacher organization, can't be one person. I think if you take a look at some of our PTO startup articles you will find lots of good information. Here are a few:
