On July 2, 2023, at the Texas PTA annual meeting, a motion was passed to increase Texas PTA dues by $0.50 per individual to be effective starting in the fall of 2024. As a result, local PTAs have to decide how to address the dues increase.
Local PTAs could either 1) increase the total membership dues by $0.50 or 2) maintain the current membership dues and thereby decrease the portion of local dues by $0.50.
The Norton Board voted to adopt option 2. Norton PTA will absorb the $0.50 increase in Texas PTA dues by decreasing the amount of local dues by $0.50 which will maintain the current membership dues amount for Norton membership at $10 (individuals); $15.00 (two members same household) and apply the same changes to Life Member dues. Our goal is to grow our PTA community and we do not want the dues increase to be a deterrent for families to join. Please attend the Annual Membership Meeting on May 7th to vote on this proposed amendment:
Article VIII
Section 2. Dues.
A.This PTA shall remit a membership roster along with the national and state dues to Texas PTA for each of its members.
B. Annual dues for each member shall be the sum of national dues plus state dues plus the local dues amount of $5.50 $5.00 (individual); $6.00 $5.50 (two members same household)
