We as actually have several teachers come to our p.t.o meetings, which are held the second Tuesday of the month in the evening. One in particular is the go between. She takes care of any requests the teachers may have or any questions we may have for them. It would be beneficial for at least one teacher to join your p.t.o. Good luck!

In our school, both parents and teachers actively fill Board positions. It is a parent teacher organization and all members, including parents, teachers, staff and community members should participate. In our school, most meeting participants and volunteers are our teachers.

We do have a teacher on our board after all it is a parent, TEACHER, o. They have always filled the position of recording secretary. We rarely have teachers at meeting either. Having one on the board helps us stay connected. Let's us know what works what doesn't and what they need.

We are trying to get a teacher to become a voting member of our PTO Board, and they don't want to do it. We can hardly even get teachers to attend the meetings. Is this not normal? The teachers don't understand why we want this, even though I have explained that it is to help keep the teachers informed, as well as make sure we are meeting their wants and needs. I would love to know how this works on other boards!
