What is the difference between a PTO and PTA?

A Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is independent from the more well known 
national organization, "Parent Teacher Association" (PTA).  Being 
independent allows us to use our money locally instead of paying dues to a 
national organization.  If you want to know more, PTO Today has a good 
article (Posted on the Links page).
