[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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...

Sore loser. If you had been involved, bro, you’d already know all this information. FOIAs didn’t turn up anything, so now you want to b**** about something else you don’t understand because you couldn’t be bothered before now. Take your tired accusations and stuff them. There’s nothing hidden or nefarious. You’re just uninformed. Ask your PTA Pres or CCPTA rep, if you’re on speaking terms. [/quote]

F off.

I voted for Kadera because she was less horrible than the APE nut. And I have attended CCPTA meetings myself. My gripe is how widely publicized and practically “open” the meetings are are for all APS families. They should know what CCPTA is up to...

Then get involved directly with CCPTA.  Make your individual school PTA become more engaged and communicative about CCPTA and its activities and efforts.  It's not a closed meeting.  The public can observe.  CCPTA hasn't been as technically saavy and resourced and doesn't currently have the wherewithal to stream meetings.  [/quote]
