What is the difference between PTO and PTA? Anyone know? In my area (Ohio USA) there are some schools that are PTA and some that are PTO. From what my ex-SIL (heavily involved in a PTO) said, the Organization doesn't have to pay dues to the national Association. blacksalt |

TIA ~Kat PTA is a national organization, and schools which have PTA's pay into the national umbrella. PTO's are completely independent.

PTO/PTA
PTA: Parent/teacher association. This is what we are called in our district.
PTO: Parent/teacher organization They changed it to PTO to give it a better name instead of association because of the stigma that the PTA has in being too cliqish. They changed it to organization so people wouldn't be turned off at the name. -- Sue mom to three girls Jarkat2002 wrote in message ... What is the difference between PTO and PTA? Anyone know?

Sorry I didn't realize the PTO didn't have to pay dues. Sorry my mistake. I
had heard rumored that they changed the name due to the stigma, but perhaps they did so they could restructure it. PTO is keeping the money in the school it is participating in. -- Sue mom to three girls Sue wrote in message ... PTA: Parent/teacher association. This is what we are called in our district.
