AREA DIVISIONS
GOAL: PROMOTE REGIONAL CONNECTIONS
Ideally, there would be an area director helping PTAs at K-5s and K-8s in each middle school attendance area. The hope is that by promoting partnerships and connections within elementary school clusters, we can build stronger support systems for the middle schools they feed into. Separate directors would then assist middle and high school PTSAs to address concerns specific to them. (K-8s, you can tap both support systems, as needed).
The following are area divisions for 2010-11.
