Q&A

pta switch

hi I was wondering can you have a pta and a pto in the same school

Technically you can, but it's unusual. I can think of two examples where it might work.
1) You are phasing out one group, let's say the PTA, and just keeping it active to spend down it's remaining funds while the other is the primary parent group that is taking in membership dues and running the day to day activities of the group.
2) The two groups are formed for very different purposes. One does your typical day to day parent group stuff, and the other one has maybe a single purpose--like raising money for a new computer lab or playground.
