PTA
Woodlake’s PTA was created to support the students at Woodlake Elementary School. The PTA currently supports over 500 students in grades Pre Kindergarten to 3rd grade.
The PTA is a not-for-profit organization that runs strictly off donations provided by Woodlake families and friends. The guidance of the PTA is the bylaws which are drafted by the State PTA and approved by the general membership. Woodlake’s PTA is required to follow the State and National PTA bylaws as well as the laws and restrictions required for a 501(c)(3) organization.
In the PTA’s mission to support the students at Woodlake an annual budget is drafted by the board and school administration. Support for the upcoming school year as well as long term needs are discussed and obligated based on the estimated availability of funds. Proposed revenues and expenditures for programs are then approved by the general membership.
The purpose of the PTA is to promote the wellbeing of children and youth. While funds are raised when needed to carry out PTA work, fundraising is not the primary function of the PTA. Per National PTA guidelines, for every one fundraising activity, there should be three non-fundraising projects aimed at helping parents or children.
