MEMBERSHIP AND DUES

The following individuals are eligible for membership in the PTO:

DCA faculty and staff
DCA alumni
DCA Board of Trustees, past and present
DCA parents or legal guardians and relatives

Dues are currently $25 per family for the 2008-2009 school year. You now have the option to pay your PTO membership dues with your tuition and other fees on your June tuition statement. The PTO will still conduct its annual membership drive at the beginning of the school year, and members may still be admitted at any time during the year after having paid the annual dues, but offering the option to pay your PTO dues with your tuition makes it even more convenient to support the PTO.

All members are eligible to participate in its business meetings and are able to serve in any of its elected or appointed positions. Each PTO member family has one vote.

PTO membership dues are divided among the PTO and the following DCA organizations:

Athletic Boosters

Academic Boosters

Band Boosters

Fine Arts Boosters

Choir/Drama Boosters

PTO MEETINGS

There are a minimum of two membership meetings each year, one per semester. These meetings are currently held immediately prior to the Elementary Christmas Program during the fall semester and the Spring Elementary Musical during the spring semester. The spring meeting is the annual meeting at which time annual reports are received. The privilege of holding office, making motions, debating, and voting is limited to PTO members.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT

Any school-supported organization, grade, or class may request funds from the PTO by submitting a PTO Wish List Form to the PTO Board for consideration and approval. Funds raised by the PTO during any school year will be allocated based on PTO Wish List requests received through the end of that fiscal year. Any remaining funds will be carried over to the next fiscal year at the discretion of the PTO Board.

PTO funds are also utilized for teacher tuition assistance, senior awards, and a yearbook ad.
