Dear PTA Members: Effective July 1, 2011, the National PTA increased their dues by $.50 per membership, bringing their total dues to $2.25. Because of the short notice and our need to post/ vote on dues increases, the Marietta High School PTSA did not raise its dues this year in response to the already-implemented national dues increase. Effective July 1, 2012, the Georgia PTA will also raise their dues by $.50, bringing the state dues to $1.50 per membership. Together, beginning next year, we will pay $3.75 of our $5.00 per membership to the national and state organizations. Therefore, we recommend increasing our dues by $1.00 per membership effective July 1, 2012 for the school year 2012-2013 to account for the additional amount which we have to pay our parent organizations. The new dues amount for next year would be $6.00 per membership. Further, so that we do not get caught in this situation again, where our payment of dues increased without our being able to increase our own dues accordingly, we propose amending our bylaws, as follows: -Effective July 1, 2012, Marietta High School PTSA increased its dues to $6.00 per membership. -Effective July 1, 2012, any time the National PTA or Georgia PTA increases their dues, the MHS PTSA dues will increase accordingly. We will discuss and vote on this amendment at the PTSA Membership meeting on January 23. Happy Holidays!

New NSBA Study Linking Parent Involvement and Student Achievement The National School Boards Association’s Center for Public Education just released a new report examining research about the relationship between parent involvement and student outcomes. The report reviews the various ways parents get involved with their local schools and finds that something as simple as engaging families in their children’s homework can be one of the best ways to advance their learning.
