Both groups work hard for children and their families, but your membership in a PTO isn't the same as membership in PTA. PTO is a generic acronym for a parent or parent/teacher organization, usually associated with a public or private school which often operates like a PTA, but is not chartered by the National PTA and does not pay membership dues to the state or National PTA. PTA is a registered trademark for the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, first organized in 1897 as the National Congress of Parents and Teachers. There are over 27,000 local units in 54 Congresses in the NPTA. Local units enjoy the benefits of membership funded by dues paid per member.
