Bylaws
Bylaws form the legally binding document that governs an association.
Bylaws are designed to help a PTA group function in an orderly manner. The bylaws of the association include all the rules that the society considers so important that they
(a) cannot be changed without previous notice and
(b) cannot be suspended.
Every member of an association board should have a copy of the bylaws and be familiar with them.
All units and councils must have PTA bylaws under which they operate. The bylaws must be updated every 3 years to keep your unit or council in good standing with the State and National PTA. Bylaws are the backbone of your association.
