Board member proposes returning pre-COVID PTA dinners to boost communication
Summary
A board member urged reinstating an annual dinner with PTA leaders so board members and PTA representatives can meet informally; several members supported exploring the idea, noting it could align with the reorganization meeting.
A board member suggested the board consider reviving a pre-pandemic practice of hosting dinners with PTA leaders to foster informal conversations between board members and PTA executives.
"We used to have a dinner with the leaders of the PTA so that they can get a chance to actually meet board members," the member said, urging administrators and board colleagues to consider bringing the event back in some form, even a cafeteria gathering if costs are a concern. Several members supported the idea and suggested timing it around the reorganization meeting or as part of a short calendar slot that board members already have reserved.
The chair said staff will consider scheduling and that members would be informed when dates are available. The proposal had no immediate fiscal allocation attached in the meeting excerpt.
