Our bylaws state that to be an officer you must have a child currently enrolled and has attended for at least one full school year. You must have attended at least two general meetings and volunteered for at least one event. Also for President ideally you would have served as a chairperson or another officer position. So there is nothing in our bylaws that would restrict this, but I guess I was wanted to know from more of an ethical point of view

It depends on how your bylaws are written. There is no absolute on this. My personal opinion is that, yes, that is a conflict of interest. My PTOs have had a clause in the bylaws that an elected officer could not be a staff member of our campus or a member of management within the district. Note - that only restricts such a person from serving in the 5 elected officer positions (Pres, VP, Sec, Treas, Parliamentarian). They can still be involved, be a committee chair, even be a member of the Board via one of these other positions.

But again - that was just MY two PTOs. Some others do not have such a restriction and have no problem with it.

I would like to get some feedback from you about your thoughts on one person serving as both an officer at our school's PTO and a trustee on our school's board of education. Do you think it is a conflict of interest or do you think it is ok. I would really appreciate hearing your thoughts as I am not sure what to think about this myself. Thanks.
