STANDING RULES
(printable copy)
Amended December 3, 2009

FORWARD

The purpose and policies of the PTA Council of Baltimore County, Inc. are fixed by its bylaws, as adopted by the membership.  Its programs and its methods of operation are directed by the state PTA and National PTA.  

These standing rules are adopted by the board of directors for its own governance, in order to carry out its responsibilities, under the bylaws, in a consistent and orderly way.  They are founded on teamwork and voluntary cooperation for purposes mutually believed. 

Small details of management have purposely been omitted.  They can be covered more usefully, in a limited basis, by guides or checklists evolved from experience and passed along informally, with a reference copy in the files of the secretary.

AMENDMENTS

The board of directors may amend these standing rules by a majority vote.  When the council delegates approve bylaws amendments, corresponding changes to these standing rules need no further action by the board of directors.
