Since PTOs are, at heart, groups of parents and teachers who are interested in supporting education, many situations arise in which the group, or members of the group, may wish to use the organization in support of a particular purpose. Because PTOs are also non-profit organizations and represent all the parents and staff of a particular school, however, it is very important to observe certain distinctions between allowable activities that generally “support education,” and activities that are just plain political, and therefore unallowable.
For more information about how to navigate this complicated subject, please go to PTOs and Political Involvement.
