Presidents’ Council is a monthly meeting of PTA presidents designed to support the PA/PTAs
within their district. The primary purposes of Presidents’ Councils are establishing or re-
establishing new PA/PTAs, providing guidance to their constituent PA/PTAs, and promoting
district-wide interests.

The Community Education Council is comprised of parent representatives whose responsibilities are to:

• Review the district’s educational programs and assess their effect on student achievement
• Hold at least one meeting per month with the superintendent (72-hour notice required), open to the public, where the public may discuss the current state of the schools in the district
• Submit an annual evaluation of the superintendent to the Chancellor
• Provide input to the Chancellor and the Panel for Educational Policy on district concerns
• Serve as liaisons to School Leadership Teams
• Approve zoning lines as submitted by the superintendent
• Hold public hearings on the district’s capital needs and submit a plan to the Chancellor
• Hold a Town Hall with the Chancellor
