From Washington State PTA:
One of the ways local PTAs can support their schools is by running a grant program. Whether granting money to teachers, to the school, or to the school district, we’ll show you the basics of a quality grant program. Unravel all the red tape and keep everything running smoothly!
At WSPTA’s annual meeting, membership voted to allow PTAs to use secured credit and debit cards to disburse funds. If your PTA is considering the move to these options, this is the roundtable for you. We will discuss how your PTA knows if it is ready for secured credit and/or debit cards and how to update your money-handling policies and procedures to keep your PTA financially safe. Join us for this discussion, and get your questions answered.
This roundtable is great for new, seasoned, local and council leaders.

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.

We ask each of our local PTA presidents and their school principal to attend this yearly workshop, designed to help lay a foundation for the ’24-’25 academic year. We will cover the purposes and limitations of PTAs and school administrators, conflict resolution, and other topics to help PTAs and schools build strong partnerships.
We have revamped the event this year to be shorter, less repetitive, and with more time for networking.
One principal from each school is required to attend this event. PTA presidents should prioritize attendance. If your PTA’s president is unable to attend, another board member should be designated to participate.
The financial management of the PTA is the responsibility of the entire board of directors. At this free, WSPTA-approved training, learn the basic financial skills to manage and track PTA funds, online accounts, legal obligations to maintain your tax-exempt status and other considerations. Recommended for all elected officers and board members.

This annual Reflections training is for local PTA and council Reflections chairs. Whether a returning/veteran chair or brand new to the role, there will be information you will need to run your program this year.
