What are the different Parent Leader teams and roles?

Parent Teacher Association (PTA):

The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) serves an important fund raising, communication, and advocate role in our school. The PTA works with the local community to supply programs and events for students and their families. For more information click the links below

Title 1 Parent Advisory Council (PAC):

Title 1 is the largest federal aid program for elementary, middle, and high schools. Parents take part in the development of the school’s Title I parent involvement policy, program, and budget. In addition, parents should take part in the planning and evaluation of their schools’ Title 1 programs. This includes the budget, plans to support the needs of English as a second language learners, and students with disabilities.

Schools getting Title 1 funds must have a Parent Advisory Council (PAC).  

School Leadership Team (SLT) Parent Members: 

The School Leadership Team (SLT) is a group of people who develop educational policies for their school. They also make sure there are resources to support those policies. SLT's:

  • Provide ongoing evaluations of a school’s educational programs and their impact on student achievement.
  • Play an important role in school-based decision-making
  • Help to make school cultures more collaborative.
