Many units within 17th District are organized under a Council of PTAs. The council is a PTA organization which typically covers units within a school district. Councils have their own executive board and meetings. The council level is responsible for providing assistance and leadership to their unit officers, trainings, etc. Council presidents are automatically a member of the 17th District PTA Board of Managers, and represent their council and its units at 17th District board meetings.

Units which have not been organized under a council are deemed as ‘out-of-council’ units, and fall directly underneath 17th District. 17th District unofficially organizes nearby out-of-council units into areas, and each area is assigned a counselor from its Board of Managers to assist the units within the area and represent them at 17th District board meetings.

If you are a unit officer and have a question about PTA, you should contact your council or your area counselor first.
