PTAs have nothing whatsoever to do with school uniforms. These are subjects and issues covered by the schools' governing bodies. It's a struggle to get anyone to turn up for PTA meetings and commit themselves to help out at the Christmas Fair, let alone make decisions such as this. Parental consultations can take many different forms, such as letters and e-mails, but the school cannot be held responsible, if parents are too lazy to respond.

first one i have yet to see a school where the kids wear their ties in a uniform way
as to the second point PTA may not be supposed to be deciding things but they are the ones they mean they consulted with !
as to them not bothering to take part yes it likely these may not have chosen to take part but it as likely that those making this decision chose not to consult with those that dont agree with them in any meaningful way too
been there done it had it done to me
