It seems after elementary school there is no involvement. How do we, yeah I'm on the board, get parents to be involved? This was a fluke assignment/vote in...I'm the secretary...but there is nothing to record...really we need help. I'm in a small, 250 students, middle school in a major city here in the Northeast.

The reason I never involved myself with the PTA, is because of the kinds of parents who involve themselves with the PTA.
If it were not for them, I would be happy to participate.
You people really need to get lives... Old, Ex, pep-rally, overly perky cheerleaders who never quite let go of High School... Living vicariously through your children.
It's just gross if you ask my opinion...
and you did so...

By the time partents get to middle school- the elementary school has jaded them so much that they do not want to participate. I mean, the clique"iness" of the group and the lack of appreciation by the teachers and administration creates this bias. (yes, I also participated in the PTA) The teachers treated these volunteers like personal assistants with alot of self entitlement.
I agree with another writer "crazy" a night of alcohol and food couldn't hurt.
To create PTA members for the middle school group you first must start at the elementary level. Parents join the PTA in the hope to truly partner with teachers to affect positive change for the good of all the students only to be treated as above.

Make sure the meetings are at a time that is easy for them to make the meetings, and maybe even offer childcare during the meetings.
Sometimes, especially with children in elementary age school, it's really hard for parents to find a sitter, and be able to make these meetings.
