During the State’s Shelter-in-Place requirement, CAPTA has drafted guidelines to help with remote meetings.

More handouts from New Officer Training
Start by planning your year. Figure out when you have to present things to your members, when you have to turn things into the State PTA or the IRS, when you want to start your membership drive. Here is a sample of a monthly planning document.
As soon as your new PTA Executive Board is elected, enter your information into PTAEZ.org. If you need help with your login credentials, please email our Treasurer
Where to find help on running your PTA
Each year, the Second District PTA trains Presidents and other Board members in May/June and September to give new officers a head start of planning for a successful year. All PTA members are welcome – anyone who wants to learn more about running a PTA.
The California PTA web site, www.capta.org has all of the information you need to be an officer and Second District PTA Board members can answer questions in English, Cantonese, Spanish and Arabic.
Use ‘key word searches’ at the upper right corner of each CAPTA.org webpage to find what you need. For example: PTA ‘job description president’ will bring you to the PTA president job description.
