The term “PTA” is commonly used to describe any parent group, and many parents, teachers, and administrators are unaware of the distinct differences between PTA and other parent organizations. Find Out More... The National PTA (National Congress of Parents and Teachers) is a volunteer educational organization, founded in Washington, D.C., in 1897. Branches of the National PTA have been established in all 50 United States, the District of Columbia, U.S. Virgin Islands, and in schools for American dependents in Europe and the Pacific area. The California State PTA (California Congress of Parents, Teachers, and Students, Inc.) is a branch of the National PTA, serving as a connecting link between the national organization and its membership within the state. District PTAs are a subsidiary organization in a designated geographical area, established by the California State PTA to facilitate the administration of the affairs of the California State PTA and the carrying out of its program. The California State PTA parliamentarian must approve the bylaws. The district PTA helps to coordinate the work of the councils and units with the plans and activities of the California State PTA and National PTA. DISTRICT PTA OFFICERS AND CHAIRMEN District PTA presidents are members of the California State PTA Board of Managers during their term of office. A district PTA representative is granted the right to vote on the California State PTA Board of Managers when officially representing the district PTA in the absence of the president. District PTA presidents and district PTA leadership are responsible for extension work within their PTA district including organization of all new PTAs and all changes in association status (Changes in Association Status 1.2.2b, 11). Articles, radio talk shows, television appearances, and recordings about the PTA, other than what is carried in state and national publications or California State PTA publicity channels, should be released only under the supervision of the district PTA president or delegated representative. It is recommended that each district PTA include in its bylaws a provision that all district PTA board members be residents in PTA district territory; parents of children attending schools in district PTA territory; or personnel of schools in district PTA territory. © California State PTA 2008.
