PTO Bylaws
As a member of the TPCA Community, you are automatically a member of the TPCA Parent Teacher Organization. Our members play a role in the decision making process as to the direction and activities of the PTO. In addition to voting on the annual budget, the membership is responsible for the bylaws. The current PTO Officers have worked hard to bring our current bylaws up to date. Most of the changes have been correcting inconsistences, bringing it in line with school requirements, best practices, and current technology. We encourage you to read the bylaws to better understand what the PTO is, why we exist, and how we operate.
At the next membership meeting on Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 5:30 membership will discuss the revised bylaws. The proposed Bylaws will be voted on at the January 9, 2013 membership meeting. Click on the link to access the bylaws. PTO ByLaws 2012
