The first thing you should do is check your by-laws. They should indicate whether or not a teacher can run.
Remember, it's a Parent-Teacher Organization, so you want teachers involved. Also, the PTO doesn't exist to benefit parents, but rather to benefit students. In our case, the VP is a teacher, and that's been a great benefit to the PTO. She's our main liason with the teachers, she runs some of the programs within the school for us, and she's a contact for me (the President) if I need something done at school and I can't get in) She's also very attuned to what the students and teachers need.
Can a Teacher of the school be elected as the
president of the PTO ? What do the parents benefit if it is an insider ? Is this legal ?
Please respond A.S.A.P
