Pros and Cons For Joining a Parent Teacher Organization
Posted by San Luis Obispo Mom on Sunday, March 26, 2023 Under: Mom Life
Many schools call their Parent Teacher Organization, PTA (Parent Teacher Association), others are just PTO.
What's the difference?
A PTA, Parent Teacher Association, has to pay fees to the the national PTA organization in U.S.A. but a PTO, Parent Teacher Organization, doesn't have to pay fees to the PTA and can have different rules and regulation/by laws.
Regardless if they are PTA or PTO, how they are run can be pretty impressive, dependent on the leadership of the board.
After volunteering for the last half year, here is a table of my thoughts.
