*What's the TIME committment like?
- The JLE PTA Board meets once per month (usually 3rd Thursdays, 6:00-7:00pm) during the school year, with an additional meeting in the summer for back-to-school planning. Board members also help run PTA programs/events, which usually occur about once per month in the evenings (we hope to resume in-person events next year, pending Covid restrictions).
- Event Chairpersons may coordinate planning for one PTA event during the year, or take up a project that spans a longer time.
- We DO spend some quality time together over the course of the school year, but the company on this Team is great!
