You've found the right place. Can your group afford to order the Start-Up Guide from this website? I think it's $40, and has really all the details you need to set up a viable PTO. Also, spend time searching this message board and you'll learn tons!
I am really having a diffecult time getting information on starting a PTO in my local school. We have never had a PTA or a PTO and have no knowledge of how to begin. If anyone can offer information for me I would really appreciate it.
