Election of PTA Officers for 2008/2009


A reminder that we will conduct an election at our next regularly scheduled PTA meeting on Tuesday, May 13 for next year's PTA officers. These are the candidates as nominated at our last two PTA meetings:





For President:
Steve Koss

For (2) Co-Vice Presidents:
Sherrand Hawker
Loesin Jacobs
Don Redish
Deirdre Rose

For Secretary:
Tara Joshua

For Treasurer:
Nevis Almeida

Each candidate will have the opportunity to speak briefly before the vote is taken. Voting will be done by secret paper ballot. Votes will be counted and the results announced that same evening. The election process will be administered by parent volunteers Nancy Lopez and Latchman Harrilal.

We will also be looking for at least two parents to act as our Title I Representative and Alternate for 2008/2009. Your main responsibility would be to work with the PTA and Parent Coordinator Julia Valentin to plan, budget, and coordinate the use of roughly $8,000 in Title I parent education funds during the 2008/2009 school year for resources, speakers, activities, and/or programs to enhance parent education. If more than two parents are nominated, the candidates will have the option to speak before a vote. We will conduct a paper ballot election as needed for Title I Representative and/or Alternate.
