VERY IMPORTANT! At our Council Membership Meeting on Monday, May 19th, we will be considering two proposals that could change the Council fees that are charged to your PTA! You can read more about the important discussion and vote that will take place at the meeting HERE! Currently, PTAs are charged a $1.50 fee per membership sold as well as a $100 program fee that is used to fund the Educational Speakers and Community Events Grant program as well as to make a donation to the WSPTA Scholarship fund. There are two fee structure proposals for you to consider: Proposal A: Would eliminate Council's $1.50 per membership fee as well as the $100 Council program fee. Instead, PTAs would pay a $200 annual fee to Council. Title 1 schools and Northshore Special Education Community (NSEC) PTA would pay $100 and Sorenson PTA would not pay a fee. Proposal B: Northshore Council PTSA will waive all Council fees for the 2025-26 school year. This will only be a temporary measure. Beginning July 1, 2026, fees will return to the fee structure that is in the Standing Rules. The goal of the "free" year is to spend down accumulated funds, give PTAs a reprieve from fees for a year, and give time to research new fee structure options that could be implemented July 1, 2026. We are asking for your attendance at this meeting so that you can discuss and debate the options and vote for what Council fees will be going forward. Each PTA may send up to 4 voting representatives - but we encourage ALL who are interested to attend. We look forward to seeing you there!
