Convert from PTA to PTO

Hi penteco -

As a matter of fact, we have heard of that. :)
Roughly 75% of the K-8 parent g roups in the country are now independent of the PTA, so what you're thinking is not unusual at all.

Try doing some reading here:

...as a start. I think you want to get educated and then talk informally among the various leaders of your local group. If there's interest then, then it's time to look into more formal parts of the process.

One bit of homework? Find out how many members were officially in your PTA last year. From there you can figure out what your group is sending out in dues to council, state and national PTAs. You'll need that number if you do a cost-benefit analysis.

Convert from PTA to PTO was created by penteco
Hi I'm new to this forum. Having lived in the Dallas area all my life I had never heard of a PTO until my family and I moved out of state for a while. Now we have moved back and I would like to have a PTO in place of the PTA at our school. How can I go about changing that? I mean where do I start? Do I bring it up at a PTA meeting? Do I try to generate intrest with flyers or meetings? Has anyone else started a movement to PTO from PTA? Any advice will be helpful. Thanks.
