We are a group of Silver Mesa parents who want what is best for our school staff, teachers and students. We believe this can be achieved through a PTO. The district has a policy allowing parents a vote. We first must complete a Notice of Intent and petition and then we will be allowed a vote. This blog will help educate, inform and unite through this process. Keep updated on what is going on here. UPDATE: You should have received a ballot in the mail. If you didn't and want to vote, contact the district. We encourage everyone to study both organizations and vote for the group they believe best represents their ideals.

Insurance

Every parent organization is required to have insurance. This insurance covers accidents at activities and
other items like that. It is very important to have. A PTO will have insurance just like a PTA and will cost an amount comparable to what the PTA pays. In fact a PTO can get insurance through the same company that provides insurance to a PTA. For all organizations this insurance is paid for through fundraised money. This insurance does NOT cost $12,000, which is what some people have been led to believe. This insurance is paid once a year and the cost is very minimal.
