What is the Executive Board and who are they?

The Executive Board runs our PTA chapter by forming and leading committees, voting on propositions and meeting in person once a month during the school year. They are overseen by the PTA President and the Principal. They work alongside the School Site Council (SSC), African Descent Advisory Committee (ADAC), and English Language Learners Advisory Council (ELAC) to make Rosa Parks Environmental Science Magnet a success.

Executive Board Officers are elected for two year terms in April at a PTA General Assembly Meeting. A nominating committee of three people suggests names of parents/guardians to fill the open positions but parents/guardians can also step forward to nominate themselves. If you are interested in filling a Board Position, please email us. Each Board Position can be occupied for two years.
