Hi,
There really isn’t anything different between booster clubs and PTOs – just a different name. Both are independent groups. Boosters usually seem to be at high schools, but there are some at elementary and middle schools, too. This is similar to other groups who want to change from a PTO to an HSA, just to make a fresh start. Fraud is its own issue - not really to do with what the group is called.
Good luck. Liz from PTO Today
