If I join one and pay my dollar, as I understand it, 10 cents goes to the national organization, 30 cents to the state gad 60 cents stays with the local school PTA. On my PTA card it says I am member ol the local, state and national PTA. Therefore, is it not reasonable that at the aeoond school I pay only the 60 cents local does? Also, would I not have the right to vote at both schools? J.S.N., Granger " ' Both state and national PTA specify that to be a member of any local unit, a voting member must pay unified dues. That means the local, state and national fee. PTA officials say dues are kept minimal so multiple membership will not be a financial burden. Also, the state PTA really ( needs the income to operate effectively. A person who does not want to pay dues to two different PTA umts could sUll attend meetings of both, but ethically would refrain from voting at the one where he did not pay dues. Often parents split PTA memberships, with one parent paying dues to one and the other paying dues to the second by-la- unit. , e SECTION B You Got Your Money i den. A?"
