PTO's generally have no authority to change district or school polices and procedures. Ergo, there is no sense in discussing said topics in a PTO meeting. Parents with such concerns need to see the school administration instead.

Recently, the PTO president was asked by several parents to include on the next meeting's agenda a discussion about safety and cafe policies at our school. The meeting went extemely well with everyone leaving with a feeling of complishment and resign. It has now been told to the PTO members that they can no longer discuss such issues through PTO. Is this true? Is PTO not the place for parents, teachers and community members to discuss the concerns of safety and procedures that take place at our school?
