Membership Benefits PTA vs. PTO The tug-of-war over an "A" and "O" Comparing PTA and PTO is like comparing apples and oranges. 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.

Parent-Directed Education Florida PTA Link to Florida PTA. http://www.floridapta.org/ National PTA Link to National PTA. http://www.pta.org/index.stm PTOs Lure Parents Sick of Split PTA Dues By Amit R. Paley Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, October 19, 2004; Page A09 Michele Foster had a simple recruiting pitch: Pay $6 a year to join the Parent-Teacher Association chapter at Desert Mountain School and thereby help improve the Phoenix elementary school. But the money's path was slightly more complicated and, to Foster, troubling. Last fall, the chapter with 270 members had to pay $1,080, more than half of the dues it collected, to state and national PTA offices. "It killed me," said Foster, then secretary of the PTA, whose son attends the school. "We were sending them money and not getting anything in return." So this year, parents at Desert Mountain decided to disband the PTA and form a Parent Teacher Organization, a nearly identical group except that members of PTOs pay no dues to a state or national organization. Desert Mountain is one of thousands of PTA groups that have voted to leave the national association in recent years. The PTA's national membership has declined steadily from a high of 12.1 million in 1963 to 5.9 million last year.
