Last year, participants provided valuable feedback on a wide range of topics affecting our schools and students. A summary of what SPS leaders heard is available in the Superintendent Community Engagement Series: What We Heard from Our Community report.
SPS looks forward to continuing these important conversations and building on the strong engagement they saw last year. Your voice matters, and together we can continue creating schools where every student feels supported, challenged, and prepared for success.
If you have questions about the Community Engagement Meetings, please contact Seattle Public Schools using Let’s Talk.
These meetings are a space to foster authentic partnership and collaboration between administrators, educators, and parents. Our intent is to foster strong relationships built on trust and create space where underrepresented voices in the SPS community can speak truth to power with grace, gain understanding of the SPS decision making process, and together hold generative conversation centered on the growth and wellbeing of all students.
Tell us about your PTA & community. The more we connect and share our experiences from around the district the better we can advocate for all students. Please reach out to executiveboard@scptsa.org to set up a time to chat or feel free to share anytime using our Community Question & Feedback Form.
Consider volunteering with SCPTSA. Please reach out to any member of our board to talk about ways to get involved, or fill out our Volunteer Interest Form and we will reach out to you.
Submit an agenda topic. Interested in learning more about a particular topic? Use our Meeting Agenda Request Form to submit a suggestion.

As the school year winds down, we know that managing PTA finances can feel overwhelming—especially for units still relying heavily on paper-based processes and physical checks. If your PTA finds it challenging to transition to digital systems, we are here to support you.
Please join SCPTSA for an informal "Lunch and Learn" Office Hours session on Zoom. We will walk you through how to modernize your operations while keeping your audits watertight.
During this session, we will cover:
Going Paperless: How to set up a digital "two-signature" reimbursement process using Google Forms.
Accountability & Digital Archiving: Easy ways to compile approvals, receipts, and bank records into organized digital files.
Updating Bylaws: How to safely approve and introduce a PTA debit or credit card for easier building purchases.
Whether you are transitioning out of your role, stepping into it for the 2026-27 school year, or just want to pick up some best practices, please join us!
This meeting will also be recorded.
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 all over Seattle.
