How our PTSA makes decisions

PTSA members vote on our budget, our standing rules, and our leaders at General Membership Meetings. This page has the next meeting, the proposed budget, short summaries of past meetings, and our governing documents.

Next meeting

Fall General Membership Meeting

Date

Tuesday,
October 20, 2026

Time

Arrive 6:00 pm
Meeting 6:10 pm

Where

Alcott Elementary

Bring the kids

Students can enjoy a movie night with pizza while adults meet. The movie starts at 6:00 pm, so you have time to settle your kids in before the meeting begins at 6:10. This is not a drop-off event: a parent or guardian must stay in the building and attend the meeting for the whole time.

What we will vote on

  • Approve the 2026–27 budget

  • Adopt the 2026–27 standing rules

  • Approve the membership subsidy policy

  • Approve minutes of the last general meeting

Who can vote

All Alcott families are welcome. Every paid PTSA member can make motions, take part in the discussion, and vote. Not a member yet? Join before the meeting. Membership is $25 for one person, $35 for two adults in one household, and $15 for Alcott staff. Help with the cost is available. Just ask.
