Training

Training

Per the WSPTA Standards of Affiliation agreement, at least one elected officer on each local PTA/PTSA board must attend PTA and the Law, and all other elected officers must attend at least one WSPTA-approved training before this year’s WSPTA convention.

Visit the WSPTA website for a training requirement flyer and tracking spreadsheet.

Training Classes

We talk a lot about training, about being trained, tracking training requirements, and making sure all of your elected officers are trained. How do you know which training is right for you or your board? Here are some possible classes that LWPTSA Council can provide.

  • PTA 101 Classes – For first time board members and those looking for refreshers.
  • PTA 201 Classes – For those who’ve served on a PTA board and/or are looking for more in-depth classes.

We are always happy to work with PTAs to provide training. Contact your AVP or any member of the Board of Directors to request training.

PTA and the Law (WSPTA Training) @ Online on Zoom
This is the most important and useful class of them all, as it will prepare you and your fellow officers to run your PTA with an eye toward the important legal and fiscal requirements in running a nonprofit. PTA and the Law deals with state and federal rules and regulations relevant to running a charitable, tax-exempt, nonprofit corporation in the state of Washington, and will explain how these rules impact your PTA. PTA and the Law is a required class for at least one elected officer per PTA each year.
