Fourteenth District PTA Mission Statement

The mission of Fourteenth District PTA is to provide our members with programs that foster skills development, leadership growth, and advocacy on behalf of all children and youth; and to sustain a comprehensive two-way communications network that links our local units and councils through Fourteenth District PTA to the California State PTA and National PTA, to achieve the objectives of the organization.

National PTA Dues Increase

National PTA recently approved a $.50 per capita dues increase.  This increase takes effect immediately.  As such, all units will need to take action to accommodate the change.  

Per the California State PTA advisory, implementation of the increased per capita dues became effective July 1, 2011. The per capita breakdown for National, State and First District PTA dues are as follows:
National - $2.25
State -     $1.25
14th District - $0.50 (this includes council if you are in council)
TOTAL to remit: $4.00

 

To help you better understand this change and how you can approach this, here is a link to National PTA’s FAQ.  It provides helpful guidelines as well as a link to information regarding how units will need to amend their bylaws.

If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact Heather Lloyd, VP - of Membership at lloydhl@yahoo.com
