Why it works

Built so the pta / pto meeting ends on time, with everyone in it.

  • Every voice in the first minutes

    A 5-minute check-in: everyone sends a mood and one word from their phone, and it shows on their tile in the call. People who speak early speak again.

  • A vote the whole room sees

    One tap each on a phone, live bars on the screen. A tick shows who has voted, never what they chose.

  • Updates stay short

    25 minutes of updates with a visible clock. In a video call the speaker is spotlighted and the room is muted, so nobody talks over them.

  • It ends in a decision

    Capture the decision and its owner with one click while it's said. It lands in the summary, word for word.

  • Discussion with a clock

    5 minutes of open floor with a countdown everyone can see, and a talk-balance meter so the loudest voice doesn't take all of it.

  • Wraps up on time

    Decisions and actions are read back, the summary is already written, and a finish on time earns the confetti.

How to run it

  1. 1Give written notice at least 10 days ahead, or 30 days for elections and bylaw amendments (California State PTA).
  2. 2Send the agenda 48 hours before the meeting.
  3. 3Start on time and aim for 60 minutes; meetings that regularly run 90 minutes lose attendance.
  4. 4Keep reports short so most of the time goes to old and new business.
  5. 5Park off-agenda items raised in the open forum for a later meeting.

Questions about the pta / pto meeting

Welcome, approval of minutes, treasurer's report, principal's report, committee reports, old business, new business, open forum, and announcements.
How much notice does a PTA meeting need?
California State PTA guidance calls for written notice at least 10 days ahead, and 30 days for elections and bylaw amendments. Check your own unit's bylaws.
