PTA Meetings

  • PTA Meeting Agendas

    The general PTA membership meets every month September to May. All are welcome! At these meetings, PTA members hear the latest news from Franklin administrators, committee chairs and more. The year’s proposed program and budget is presented at the first association meeting of the year. Our annual election is held during our April meeting.

    Check out what’s been going on at meetings.

  • Executive Board Meetings

    These monthly meetings include those who are specifically listed in the Bylaws, including the executive board and the standing committee chairs. The meetings take place two weeks before association meetings, which allows all members time to receive advance, written notice of all business items that will be considered and voted on at the next association meeting.

 PTA Budget Meetings

All are welcome to participate in budget meetings. They are held once a month and PTA financial leadership and school leaders discuss the PTA budget and expenses.
