Big difference between what they can technically do and what they can practically do.

Will try and jump in some more when i get some time.

I don't even understand how they think they could enforce a change. A PTO is an independant organization (or should be) from the school. If the district decides to start a PTA, what would stop your PTO from existing too?

Just got an email from the Principal who said there is talk of changing all the schools in our district to PTA's- WHAT??? She followed that up with ..."nothing has been decided yet." Um..I am the president of your PTO- I am hoping "nothing has been decided yet." So, there is a meeting scheduled for the 27th of September and as you can tell I am strongly opposed to the idea of this switch for many reasons, most importantly we have a very small PTO and don't even charge dues. I do not believe in charging people to make their child's school a better place. $900 in dues to the PTA who will not at all directly effect our school makes my stomach turn. Can something of this nature be decided by the board of ed without our (the PTO) having a say????? SOS! :eek:
