At the September Hauser PTA meeting, a committee was formed to study the possibility of converting our Parent Teacher Association chapter to an independent parent teacher organization. Five articles have been posted on the website. If you want to review those articles, they can be found here:

Also available is a chart comparing PTA and PTO. Discussion of converting the Hauser PTA to a PTO is on the agenda for the November 4 meeting (7:00 p.m. in the Hauser Library).
