During one of the last PTA meetings for the current school year an announcement will be made that the PTA is looking for
volunteers for the PTA Board for the following school year. It is recommended that an announcement be placed in the Weekly
Newsletter as well. ne volunteers may choose to set the Board up in a way that they believe will work the best for them. The only
required position is that of Treasurer.
In a year when there are no volunteers for the Board, certain sub-committees may continue to function such as the Newsletter, Bake
sale and Welcome Committee. In this case, the Treasurer becomes the central communication point. The Headmaster must hand all
requests for purchases to this person. The sub-committee chairpersons are not eligible to approve any purchases for the school.
