Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) raise funds to provide support at many of the San
Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) schools. It is important that the support
arrangements are consistent with California PTA (CAPTA) rules and the SFUSD’s
responsibilities under regulations, labor agreements, and Board of Education policies.
Note: These guidelines were jointly developed by SFUSD and Second District PTA. First
published in 2004, revised in 2016, and 2023.
Both the SFUSD and CAPTA strongly recommend that PTAs do not directly employ or
contract for services to be provided at the school sites.
