Our Board (which is large, 25-35 ppl) includes the Principal, Vice Principal, and 2 Teacher Reps, all of whom are voting members.
Beyond the Teacher Reps, we usually only get teachers-who-are-also-parents that active in our Board. (Our teachers are great, and they help in other ways. But they don't routinely attend the monthly business meeting.)
The elected officers (Pres, VP, Sec, Treas, Parli) cannot be employees of our campus or management level employees of the district. Other than that, a teacher could theoretically hold a position like committee chair. (But they don't.)
hope this helps!
"The PTO Executive Board shall consist of the officers, two (2) faculty members elected by the faculty and the Principle. The Principle shall not have a vote."
Do most bylaws discuss this issue, regarding how many teachers vs parents etc will be on the board? Several people in our PTO are parents but also teachers or substitute teachers. I realize that a teacher has a different perspective than a parent concerning the "PTO members", adgenda, etc. In what way is this positive for the PTO and in what ways is this negative. I find a lot of negativity toward "parents" coming from these people. It does not seem to be a problem right now but I could see how it could get that way very easily.
