COVID-19 Information

A Message From Our President

We realize there are a lot of concerns regarding the COVID-19 virus within our PTA communities and schools. Please be assured that Florida PTA is closely monitoring the information from our school districts and government officials regarding measures being implemented in our communities.

We have provided some resources in this newsletter for your use.

This is a fast developing situation. We are staying in touch with the DOE and health agencies, reviewing the most recent wellness information, and will adjust accordingly as needed based on the best guidance available.

In the meantime, please continue to promote healthy habits and stay positive. Together we'll all continue to to carry out the important work of supporting children and families at school, at home, and across our communities.

We encourage you to reach out if you have any questions or concerns regarding the virus and its effects on your PTA and school community.

With warm regards,

Linda Kearschner

President, Florida PTA

Florida PTA Events

Unfortunately, due to the evolving situation with COVID-19, we have had to postpone our Summit, "Poverty Simulation Through Their Eyes", which was to be held next week. Stay tuned for a new date for this event.

At this time, other Florida PTA events, for example, our statewide Reflections celebration and Leadership Convention, will continue as scheduled.

Planning and registration for our 2020 Leadership Convention continues. We hope you will join us and register for our event through the link on our website .

Guidelines for General Membership Meetings (Parliamentary Procedure)

General membership meetings can only be held as in-person meetings.

If a general membership meeting cannot be held at the school, it may be hosted at a church, library or other public venue, including a park or outdoor location, with notice to the attendees, according to unit bylaws.

If the meeting is cancelled/postponed, it should be rescheduled, with notice to the members, in accordance with your unit bylaws. Please reach out to us if you have questions.
