[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The meetings should absolutely be open to all dues-paying PTA members.

As responses have indicated, they are welcomed to attend. But it's the PTA that is the dues-paying member of CCPTA.  Individual school parents pay dues to their individual school's PTA, not to CCPTA. They appoint - or should appoint - a CCPTA representative to be their voice.  The problem is, most CCPTA reps don't actually report back to their PTAs and most PTAs don't really care enough to devote time in their meetings to CCPTA business/news.  School PTAs are too focused on fundraising and doing more and more for their school, rather than tending to the advocacy PTAs are supposed to be doing.

So don't criticize CCPTA.  Criticize your PTA and if you think they should be more engaged at the CCPTA level, then push them to become more engaged and volunteer to be their rep.[/quote]

In addition to "being welcome", the CCPTA should openly publish agendas and meeting details. Everyone who pays dues to their PTA is funding the CCPTA (and VAPTA/National PTA).

I'm sure plenty of people would have liked to have known in advance that Kadera sucked up all CCPTA resources this past year to work on her pet project instead of the pandemic...

What was the pet project?[/quote]
