Transition Checklist
DCCPTA has developed a checklist for your PTA to use to smooth the transition from this year's Board to next year's.
Many PTAs have a "Hand-Off Meeting" at the end of the year so that procedure books and verbal hints and tips can be transferred. It doesn't take long and your new officers and chair people will be immensely grateful!
Click HERE to download a copy.
You may call or email Karen Nuland or Jenifer Morgan over the summer - or post your question on the Presidents & Treasurers Facebook blog.

ESE Parent Survey
Every year, the Florida Department of Education surveys the parents of students with an Individual Education Plan (IEP). (Students in the gifted program are not included in this survey unless they have an IEP for another special need.)
The last day to complete the survey is May 31.
You can complete the survey HERE, or request a paper copy from your school. The survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete.
