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.

Starting a PTO

For the amount in dues we sent away this year, we could easily have paid for any start-up costs associated with a PTO.  The biggest start-up cost is filing a 501(c)3 (non-profit) application with the IRS. This is a one-time fee. After the initial year, our school would be saving around $1,000 in dues that we typically send away to national, state, and council levels of the PTA.
