Power Up Your PTA with the Toolkit
The California State PTA Toolkit provides guidance, instruction and ideas to ensure a successful term as a PTA officer or chair.
TOOLKIT = VALUABLE INFORMATION
The Toolkit reflects the hard work and effort of the California State PTA Board of Managers to create the best possible resource for you. It is based on more than 100 years of best practices by PTAs around our state. You will discover valuable information to assist your PTA/PTSA with the important work that you do on behalf of all children and families. Many of your questions and concerns can be answered here in just one place.
Remember, if you can’t find it in the Toolkit, you always have the safety net of your council, district or state PTA to answer your questions. Don’t hesitate to contact them.
