That is the question Maryland PTA (MDPTA) has refused to answer when asked by previous board members on numerous occasions.
Feeling they are an organization that is above the law, they acted as they pleased. The set of document links posted to this site provide insight on the efforts made by the previous board of directors to save the charter.
There has not been any mismanagement or misappropriation of funds as supported in the Audits performed by MDPTA on behalf of the 2003-2005 Board of Directors and a certified public accountant for 2005-2007 Board of Directors 2005-2006 Audit and Annual Report. The Board of Directors were unable to complete the 2006-2007 Audit because MDPTA confiscated the books.
I encourage you to take the time; read the documents to learn the truth about MDPTA's goal to remove Councils from its organizational structure and discredit Councils as their justification for making this change.
You also have the the right to request these same documents from MDPTA under the Public Information Act (PIA). Listed below is an exert from the PIA Manual.
A nonprofit entity incorporated under the State’s general corporation law may also be considered a unit or instrumentality of a political subdivision for purposes of the PIA, if there is a sufficient nexus linking the entity to the local government. See Andy’s Ice Cream, Inc. v. City of Salisbury, 125 Md. App. 125, 724 A.2d 717, cert. denied, 353 Md. 473, 727 A.2d 382 (1999) (Salisbury Zoo Commission subject to PIA, given the Mayor and City Council’s role in the appointment of Commission members, authority over budget and bylaws,and power to dissolve Commission).
