When cleaning tiles, particularly very shiny ones, I often found bits of lint would stick to the floor or wall in the bathroom. I would try to wipe it off with the cloth and end up getting more lint or just moving it around. Wait until the surface is dry and then simply brush over it with a banister brush.

PTO vs. PTA = Independent vs. Affiliated The technical differences between a PTA and a PTO are fairly simple. The national PTA is a formal membership organization headquartered in Chicago with a 103-year history of working for children. Local groups that choose to belong to the PTA must pay dues to the state and national organization and abide by state and national group rules. In return they get member benefits, and they get a voice in the operations of the larger organization. PTA groups also have a political voice, as the national PTA maintains a Washington lobbying office and most state PTAs advocate at their respective state capitals. The PTA protects its name, so thatin theoryonly dues-paying members of the group can call themselves "PTA." "PTO," on the other hand, is a more generic term. It generally represents the thousands of groups that choose to remain independent of the PTA. The acronym PTO is the most popular name, but other common monikers include PCC, PTG, and HSA. These are most often single-school groups that operate under their own by-laws andby and largeconcern themselves with the goings-on at their school, or in their town only. For years, the debate has been exceedingly simple to frame. Do we want to be part of something larger and spend our group dollars outside of our school? Or do we want to focus exclusively on our school where our kids are? Since the PTA was (and still is) the only formal national school parent group, the decision has often been PTA or not-PTA.

Free Press, 1230 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10020. In a celebrated 1995 essay, Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam warned that Americans were far less likely to join groups than in the past. Citing declines in many major organizations—labor unions, the League of Women Voters, PTAs, and bowling leagues—Putnam concluded that Americans had become far less civic-minded, a trend that would inevitably lead to a fractured and balkanized America. Ladd, professor emeritus at the University of Connecticut, disagrees. A great deal of evidence, he contends, shows Americans are now more likely to join associations and aid charities. We are less likely to bowl than in the past—but more likely to join soccer leagues. Women have shifted their allegiance from the League of Women Voters to less political groups, such as the Soroptimists and local businesswomens’ associations. And while PTA membership is declining, parents aren’t abandoning the schools; they’re more likely to create independent, locally controlled parent-teacher organizations (PTOs), which don’t have to pay hefty dues to the PTA national headquarters or follow its political lead. Americans are also increasingly donating time to worthy causes. Polls show steady rises in the percentage of Americans who say they volunteer to help others. In 1977, for instance, 26 percent of Americans surveyed said they donated time to help the poor, the sick, and the elderly. By 1995, the percentage had more than doubled to 54 percent. Charitable donations are also rising, from $349 per person in 1970 to $524 in 1996 (measured in constant 1993 dollars).

Saturday, June 04, 2005 Austin Chronicle—Forgotten but Not Quite Gone June 3, 2005 The 79th Legislature ends not with a bang, but lots of whimpers BY AMY SMITH Don't think for a moment that you've seen the last of the lawmakers, what with all the hints this week of a possible return engagement for another crack at school finance – or rather, property tax reduction. So enjoy the reprieve while you can. As with most sessions, the 79th Legislature had its share of highs and lows – the lowest point, the night Democratic Rep. Joe Moreno was killed driving back to Austin from a Rockets-Mavericks playoff game in Houston. As for the high points, that depends on where you stand. Many of us are still relishing that five-hour debate leading up to the death of private school vouchers. It provided one of those rare moments (these days) of Republicans and Democrats teaming up to defeat bad public policy. Another unpredictable alliance had reformist Dems and social conservatives coming together to successfully thwart persistent efforts (mostly from the GOP leadership) to expand the state's gambling footprint. In his post-session assessment on Tuesday, Gov. Rick Perry put his best spin on his 2005 legislative agenda – which he had originally declared would be judged on property tax cuts and school finance reform. Oh, well. On other fronts, Perry got what he sought on lowering workers' compensation costs, curbing "frivolous" asbestos lawsuits, and requiring parental consent for minors seeking abortions. And he got some, but not all, of what he wanted in the way of funding for child and adult protective services, his pet Enterprise Fund, and his new Emerging Technology Fund (maybe next session we'll see an Emerging and Enterprising Video Slot Machine Fund). Concerning his losses – in addition to coming up short on school finance and vouchers, Perry lost his bid to lower the cap on property appraisals, in large measure because of loud and effective opposition from local municipalities and counties.

There are more AIE policy committees and task forces than ever before. This is also an exciting time, with new resources and increased attention to the arts as a catalyst for improving the country's schools. Doug Herbert, Director of the Arts In Education Program at the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), begins this Monograph with a guided tour of the national arts education scene. He describes the initiatives and partnerships that are shaping the policy and agenda for the arts in our children's education. He brings into focus the current momentum for supporting the arts as essential to education reform. Monograph profiles five communities that are making the arts central in their local schools. Schools, together with local arts agencies and arts organizations, are transforming teaching and learning, and redefining the role of the arts community in education, with a variety of funding and partnership strategies. These local initiatives are described in the second part of the
