My question is do we need to dissolve our PTA? Can't we simply chose to do what we want with our own 501(c)3 and let the State PTA office decide what they want to do with our Unit? We have no signed agreement in any of our records that connect us to PTA. Our "purpose" will be the same as far as the IRS is concerned.

We will not be actively recruiting members or particpating in a PTA membership drive next year at our school and the organization will have a new name and will be operationg under the orginal 501(c)3

Of course, we would gather our members to discuss this choice and have the membership vote on it. It seems like that is not "dissolving" the PTA but making a choice to do something different with our non-profit (with the mission staying the same)
