Board Openings
Donna Petiford
The Springfield Council of PTAs is looking for energic people to fill executive board openings due to expiring terms. As the largest school district in Missouri, the Council serves as an umbrella for all of our local school PTAs. We provide leadership development, encourage parent and public involvement, as well as, a resource for managing a PTA, education, parenting information, and legislative issues. The Council is looking forward to an amazing year as Covid restrictions are lessening with the hopes of PTA sponsored events are returning.
Our message this year is “Why PTA” – If the pandemic taught us anything, personal involvement is key ingredient to the success of our education system. There is a great deal of talk about performance and test scores, yet little is being said about the support system because when you care – they care. The PTA not only advocates for students and teachers, but the whole community. We helped to pass the Prop S bond by personally calling voters to answer questions and while rallying the community about the need for safer schools. The PTA is more than a social network and bake sales – it’s about showing how being involved can transform lives.
