If you have served on the PTA Exec. Board you know what LOT stands for. And you probably gained office by a landslide, right? So you join PTA for various reasons. To be involved in your childs education environment, your new to the school so this is a great way to meet other parents, make a difference, etc. So you're on the Exec. Board now and you've driven to Austin to complete the "required LOT"(Leadership Orientation Training). You spend 3 days with other moms you seem to have alot in common with. Fortunately, you guys hit it off. You survive the training and return with an abundance of information and 'procedures'. Now, I failed to mention that on this Exec Board, some members are returning members, but at different posts. They have sworn up and down that they will help and guide you thru this. They do fail to tell you that what they mean by help and guide, it really means that they are going to show you and pretty much want you to do things "the way they've always done them!" In the meantime, you have come back with all this information that will help you and allow you to have a successful and "law abiding PTA". Now I don't mean breaking the law in a crucial manner, just that if your PTA would ever be auditted, you have means to cover your pettute!!!
Need some rest, will continue tomorrow. I have ALOT to share!!!
