Standing Rules

Standing rules are the rules an organization uses to administer its affairs under the provisions of its Bylaws. A well-organized and efficient PTSA will have a written set of procedures for putting its Bylaws into effect. Standing rules are more flexible than Bylaws and may be changed at any executive board meeting by a majority vote if previous notice was given or 2/3 vote without previous notice. The standing rules serve as a guide and become the most valuable tool for the orientation of new board members. Well-written standing rules ensure the orderly transfer of duties from one administration to the next.
