Are forms/flyers created by PTO member copyrighted?

I would just have someone else make the flyers. They may not look as good as the other ones, but at least you wouldn't have to deal with the nonsense and immaturity of this person. Good luck to you.

Here's my 2 cents....

I would not even want her copy at this point. How petty!

I would send home a flyer to everyone in the school saying that you need a new brochure (or whatever you call it) and ask for a volunteer with experience in this arena who can volunteer to make you a new one. That should accomplish getting you one and if it is humanly possible make this person feel like a heel.

We once had a president who upon completing her stint in office stole all of our files out of the PTO file cabinet. It was hard for us to start over with nothing and create new folders, but we did it and as someone else noted success is the best revenge.

Anyone who still uses the phrase "on the same page" is wallowing in self importance. Let her and her tri-fold go. Where is GaMom when you need a really great term like snot head? :p

I like d's idea anyway. Let the kids help and make it a fun one!

I'm sorry your group had a rough year. It sounds like you and your new team are just the people to turn things back around and make next year the best ever!

Jerk--okay I said it...did she REALLY get a LEGAL copyright, you know the c with the little circle around it. I doubt it...but anyway she's a jerk and I'd rather have my 2 year old do our fliers than use someone's like that.

If you want a copy of our trifold (it is is powerpoint) zap me and This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and I'll send you one....I will not answer "me too's" on this--if you want it zap me, unless Tim can post power point onto this site or perhaps transfer into adobe--I'd be pleased to send to him as well...for general posting (did I mention she's a jerk).

My opinion is don't wallow in the muck with her. Pick and choose your battles. Her flyers may be beautiful, but in the long run, anyone can make a flyer that will serve your purpose.

Take the high road and move on.
