PTA Meeting Times
Re “PTA in Uproar Over Meeting Schedule,” Nov. 8.
[To] the dilemma of day or night PTA, the answer is a foundation.
PTA is not to raise money but to give time in the classroom, at carnivals and school events. While PTA may make some money, the emphasis is parent educational volunteerism. Working parents have less time and more money to give so let them form a foundation with night meetings and a project or two to benefit the school financially.
Some parents will belong to both. Both will prosper, and the children will have daytime volunteers and nighttime supporters as well.
