GOALS:

- To better communicate PTA issues, activities and accomplishments to members and the community at large.
News & Updates 2021-2022
Update November 20, 2021
We had a quorum at the Nov 17 General Meeting. It was announced that WSPTA is placing Tacoma Council PTSA into a "Restructuring Phase," per the letter shown below from WSPTA President Nancy Chamberlain.
PTAs who paid the $1 per member council fees for 2021-2022 will receive their fees back via WSPTA and Member Planet.
Tacoma Special Education PTA board of directors have agreed to maintain the 110 year Council Archives during the restructuring phase, which are currently housed at Foss HS. They will be able to use the room for TSEPTA files/storage and to conduct meetings if they choose. We will have the MOU with Tacoma Schools updated to reflect the change.
In regards to council funds, it was motioned and voted to donate $250 to TSEPTA Bridge The Gap Scholarship Fund.
Bridge the Gap is a special education academic fund that was created to help meet the needs of students with disabilities. Funds are awarded to applicants across the district as needs arise to help reduce and eliminate barriers to learning and participation. https://www.tsepta.org/bridge-the-gap.html
The balance of the council funds (estimate $1400), after any business deductions for this FY are made will be donated to TSEPTA in a Restricted Fund to cover the cost of annual Property Insurance for the council archives; with any remaining funds to be returned to TCPTSA as start up funds should council return to full function.
For local unit PTA support, please contact either:
The 2020-2021 TCPTSA Award Winners were Recognized at this meeting for their past service, as there was no banquet held last Spring.
Congratulations:

November 10, 2021 Letter from WSPTA President Nancy Chamberlain
Dear Tacoma Council PTA:
Washington State PTA values your council and its long history in our state. The work you do to advocate for and support local PTAs, children and families is critical. We know the past year and a half have been challenging, and Tacoma Council PTA has reached the point of potential dissolution, as continuing to run this association is placing an undue burden on past officers.
Tacoma Council PTA has a 110-year history in the state of Washington. The hope of WSPTA is to offer a rebuilding and support process that can sustain this historic council through its current challenges and relieve past officers of their responsibility.
Tacoma Council PTA has been unable to elect new officers, and is therefore not in good standing, per the WSPTA Standards of Affiliation. In accordance with WSPTA Policy 3.1.4 Standards of Affiliation Review and Escalation, WSPTA is placing Tacoma PTA Council into a “Restructuring Phase.” As part of the restructuring phase, and to remove undue burdens on current officers, a dedicated WSPTA council support team will be assigned to work with local PTA leaders to restructure Tacoma Council PTA within the next two fiscal years.
As part of the restructuring process:
We look forward to working with the Tacoma PTA community to restructure Tacoma Council PTA. We value this council and appreciate the willingness of the community to work towards restructuring rather than moving immediately to dissolution.
We hope to welcome you back to Washington State PTA!
Best wishes,
Nancy Chamberlain
President

As part of the restructuring process:
- Tacoma Council PTA will not be required to run a Reflections program for 2021-22. All reflections entries from this council may be submitted directly to WSPTA; please see: https://www.wastatepta.org/events-programs/reflections/pta-leaders/ for more details.
- Tacoma Council PTA’s member planet account will be suspended and all funds paid by local PTAs for the current year will be refunded. No further council fees will be collected on behalf of Tacoma PTA Council unless or until that is decided by constituent PTAs.
- If quorum is achieved at a legally called meeting, members may vote on the allocation of funds before closing the bank accounts.
We look forward to working with the Tacoma PTA community to restructure Tacoma Council PTA. We value this council and appreciate the willingness of the community to work towards restructuring rather than moving immediately to dissolution.

Thank you to those who were in attendance, including 2 Past TCPSTA Presidents who care very deeply about TCPTSA and it's deep and rich history. We did not have a quorum to vote, so the Council will remain open over the summer months until we can address this issue again in the Fall. The WSPTA Board and Area C VP are very much in support of keeping the Council open so it can continue its support for the local Tacoma PTAs and continue PTAs 100+ years of Tradition.

What is the purpose of a PTA Council?
Council Leaders provide support, guidance and training to the Tacoma local PTAs
Council Leaders are the liaison between the local PTAs and the Region & State PTA
Council also promotes and celebrates the Reflections Art Program
Over the past several years, it has been difficult to recruit council leaders, leaving the same council officers rotating positions over and over. Without new leaders, the council cannot be sustained.
Our Nominating Committee has reached out via various means of communications,
but has not been successful in finding new leaders.
Without Council, local PTA leaders will be able to receive support from
the Region Leadership, Area C Vice-President ([email protected]),
the WSPTA Board of Directors or from the WSPTA Office Staff ([email protected]).
Non-Council PTAs will still be able enter Reflections by submitting directly to State by January 21, 2022.
See WSPTA Website for rules. https://www.wastatepta.org/events-programs/reflections/
Reflections Theme, "I Will Change The World By..."
will be taking a vote to Dissolve the Council
