In order to remain a chapter in good standing, our PTSA chapter must undergo a five-year renewal process.
In December, our Bylaws Committee met to review and revise our current bylaws. The committee was composed of Julie Tahan (Bylaws Chair), Marta Morrissey (Pres.), Susan Bell (Sec.), Kim Winston (Treas.), and Kathryn Wilber (Teacher Rep.).
At the January Board meeting, the proposed revisions were presented. A draft copy was posted in the main office mailroom at Lee High School along with documentation of the rationale for the proposed revisions. After a period of 30 days posting, the general membership will have opportunity to vote on the proposed bylaws. The Bylaws Committee welcomes any questions regarding the proposed revisions. Also, a copy can be sent to you by contacting Peter van Aartrijk at Peter@Aartrijk.com.
Voting for the adoption of the revised bylaws is slated for the February PTSA meeting.
