Minnesota PTA President Deborah Seelinger and President-Elect Heather Starks presented a workshop at the Minnesota School Board Association Leadership Conference on January 12 titled: “How School Boards can Work with PTAs to Support All Children.”
School boards do a better job when they are challenged and supported by an informed and involved community. PTA bylaws encourage participation in the decision-making process to develop school policy. The PTA can be a valuable partner to a school board in gaining parent insight and fostering communication between the district and families.
