The Dailard Parent Teacher Foundation is successful because of its leaders and members, and because of the diverse talents and expertise they contribute to the organization. Any parent or family member with an interest in serving the school as a PTF leader is strongly encouraged to join.
Becoming a Member of the Board
Members of the PTF Board usually serve two-year terms. Open positions for the following year are advertised in the spring. Parents interested in the open board positions are asked to attend the May and June PTF meetings; board members vote on the candidates. Each member of the board has specific jobs to perform that fall under their position (although sometimes volunteers are needed for extra projects). They are also expected to attend monthly meetings and attend many events.
Chairing a Dailard PTF Committee
Parents interested in leading one of our specialized committees are welcome to volunteer to take on the job! Other committee chairs and board members may recruit parents when a position is open or a new committee is formed. Chairs hold their positions for two years. Ideally, a parent interested in leading a committee will work closely with the committee chair for a school year before taking over the responsibility the next year; this transition maintains continuity for the committee so it can stay focused on its events.
If you have additional questions about joining the board or leading a committee, please do not hesitate to contact a board member or committee chair to learn more about the process.
