Is It OK For A Teacher to Run for PTO President if they Do Not Have a Child at the School?

depends on your bylaws.
it would be allowed at our school, if the teacher teaches at our school.doenst matter if they have a child there or not.

I agree. Check your bylaws. Mine says all parents/guardians and staff are members but the Officer Eligibility clause says the candidate must have a child/ward attending the school. So, a teacher could run only if they also had a child enrolled at the school.

Our wording states they must have a child... but I like the idea of a teacher running! However I will say it is alot of extra work on them! If I was still teaching, I dont think I could do it!

I wouldn't think a teacher running even with a child would be cool. We are a PTO, parent and teacher, both having different views...I guess if you have a great teacher that puts needs of students first it doesn't matter but I have encountered some teachers not like that. Good luck!

our bylaws call for co-presidents.. one teacher, one parent.. that happened once.. 10 years ago when the by-laws were written.. ( before my time on the board).. since then.. 2 parents...., but we do have a teacher rep
