PTA Switches to PTO to "Involve the Whole Community"
Interesting analysis from this group in Massachusetts, as they make the switch from PTA to PTO. The biggest reason: they wanted to include everyone and get rid of the "who's a member and who's not a member" idea. Also felt that perceived PTA fundraising restrictions were getting in their way.

I've always been a fan of the no-dues model for PTOs (not allowed for PTAs and optional for PTOs) for that very reason, seems funny to me that parents have to pay dues to belong to the parent group at their own children's school. My column on saying no to dues for parent groups and PTOs and PTAs is here.
