Virginia Congress of Parents and Teachers

“The pta is an organization of all participating parents in the school. Parents are encouraged to join and serve on the board. Elections are held at the last board meeting of the year with any parent, who is a voting member, in attendance being allowed to vote. Only voting members of the current school year can vote. There are not proxies or absent voters. Officers, except the treasurer, shall assume their official duties following the close of the meeting in june. The treasurer shall assume his/her official duties upon the completion of the auditing process. Officers shall serve for a term of one (1) year or until their successors are elected.”

“All actions of the pta are subject to school administration approval. The school administration does not have a seat on the board, but in effect is the holder of a veto power of any action it deems inappropriate or ineffective.”

“The financials are reviewed by the board each quarter and approved at that time. The tax return is completed by our outside accounting firm and reviewed by the chairman. It is then presented to the board for comment.”

“The board adopted a conflict of interest policy in mid 2002. Any board member who has a conflict of interest must disclose it and obstain from voting. The board is vigilent with regards to this policy and has all board members sign a letter stating that they have no conflict of interest.”

“The financials are available to the public upon request. They may be viewed by contacting the seldens landing pta at the leesburg, va, address. All requests must be in writing, provide a self-addressed envelope, and enclose a check for $15.00 made payable to the seldens landing pta for processing.
