We Need You!

Seattle Council PTSA represents over 80 PTAs and PTSAs in Seattle Public Schools. Centering the voices of those furthest from educational justice, we support, inform, and advocate for and with school communities across Seattle.

We are searching for student- & equity-centered leaders to serve on our executive board for the 2025-26 school year. Our executive board roles consist of President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary. We welcome co-leaders for all positions as we believe this supports diversity and allows us to uplift and learn from one another in our roles.

SCPTSA strives for a board that equitably represents the students of the district we serve. We value the leadership of underrepresented communities—including our BIPOC, English Language Learners, LGBTQIA+, and Disabled individuals—and we strongly encourage your participation. We believe the wisdom of a highly diverse group of leaders—one inclusive of families with students furthest from educational justice—is imperative to make every child’s potential a reality.

As a PTSA, we are committed to inclusivity and doing whatever it takes to make it easier for underrepresented families to participate—including remote access, interpretation, translated materials, technical support, mentorship, and more. We strive to cultivate an environment where every leader can show up as their full, authentic selves, is welcomed into a collaborative and supportive environment, and is valued for who they are and for the unique gifts they bring to the community in support of the PTA mission.

According to WA State PTA Bylaws, Article 5, Section 6(G), in order to be elected to office in a Council a person shall:

  • be at least 18 years of age;

  • have been a member of a local PTA or Council board of directors for at least one term;

  • and have been a member of a local PTA in the Council for at least 30 days preceding the election.

If you are interested in a SCPTSA executive board role, or if you would like to recommend someone you know, please email nominations@scptsa.org. We would love to talk with you! Please feel free to email us in your preferred language and we’ll do the work on our end to connect. Thank you for considering!!
