TJ PTSA General Membership Fee Survey

It has been brought to our attention by the VA PTA that our membership fees are one of the highest in the state, and are the highest in the surrounding area. This is a matter that we are looking into and would like community feedback. Please participate in the two-question survey regarding the PTSA General Membership Fee. Should we reduce the General Membership fee?

Some comparison data:

TJ PTSA Adult Membership $40

Langley PTSA Parent Membership $25

Westfield HS PTSA Adult Membership $20
