January and February PTA Notes are now posted

Apologies for the delay. Notes from January and February PTA meetings are now posted.

Note: PTA members receive these notes and agendas prior to our monthly meetings directly from Chapman PTA President Morgan Nystrom.  More on PTA and how to join here.

As we get closer to the end of the school year, learn more about PPS staffing and allocation decisions, and receive income totals from our largest annual fundraiser, the PTA and Foundation will be discussing how best to prioritize our funding to positively impact our school community for the 2019-20 school year. We appreciate your interest and active engagement in this process. All PTA members are eligible to vote.
