School Board Liaison

School Board Liaison Program

The School Board PTO Liaison program was established by a board vote as a communication initiative between the school board and individual schools to promote two-way communication.

About the School Board Liaison Program

  • For all 15 schools to have a committee of 2-4 volunteers to serve on a liaison committee (i.e. PTO president, vice-president, PTO board liaisons, other school volunteers)
  • Attendance by at least one liaison from each school at all school board meetings
  • Ongoing dialogue between the liaison, PTO president, and school principal
  • Open lines of communication and information sharing between the school board and the liaison members
  • Two receptions are held each year for the School Board Liaisons - August and January
  •  A school board representative will be present at all Coordinating Council meetings
  •  Quarterly board updates will be sent from the school board to all liaisons and PTO leadership via email
  •  A more detailed tri-fold pamphlet explaining school board meeting structure will be available at all meetings
