Why is the expiration date always October 31?
The expiration date should always be October 31 in the following school year, so that members who join during the current school year are eligible to vote on the PTA’s program and budget the following September/October if the membership drive for that new year has not started. This date has also been designated for uniformity across the state. The membership year for the California State PTA is July 1 to June 30 but members are given until October 31 to re-join.
