Clear Creek Community Council PTA Purpose

The Clear Creek Community Council of PTAs is a group of local units organized by authorization of the state congress. The purpose is to promote conference leadership training and to coordinate efforts of the local PTAs in its membership. The council may not legislate for its units.

The Council serves as a medium through which the local units of an area can together attack problems beyond the scope of a single PTA working alone. The Council strengthens each local unit, enabling it to work more effectively in its own school and neighborhood.

The members of the Council are the PTAs, not the PTA members. Each local PTA is represented in Council by its president, principal, and three delegates selected by the local PTA.

The Objects of the PTA

   To promote the welfare of the children and youth in home, school, community, and place of worship
   To raise the standards of home life
   To secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and youth
   To bring into closer relation the home and the school, that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the education of children and youth
