I don't think there are any critera in Ohio for bylaws. We are a PTO in Ohio and as long as our bylaws fit the critera for 501(c)(3) I think whatever the officers want as bylaws. I can email you a copy of our bylaws if you want to post your email address.
Are you also going to incorporate and file for 501(3)(c)? If you are going to incorporate go on-line to the Ohio Secretary of State and print out the Articles of Incorporation form and Statutory Agent (just a form to say who the person in charge is) and then mail it. To become incorporated it only took our PTO about 2 weeks.
For 501(c)(3) just follow the national guidelines (irs.gov). If you need more help the guidelines that the National PTO Network mailed at the beginning of the year was a great resource to me.
