ATLANTA, Ga., (May 20, 2022) — Georgia PTA is currently aware that there are allegations that the South Gwinnett High School PTSA Vice President and Candidate for the Gwinnett County School Board District 4 used her position as the PTSA President inappropriately leading to a possible violation of the Internal Revenue Code along with State Campaign Ethics laws. Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office.

We heard you! You may now electronically submit your Intent to Run from the Floor for a GA PTA Officer Position AND you have until 30 days prior to the start of Convention and Leadership Training to submit your intent.

Dear PTA Leaders,

Since our founding, PTA has been the conscience of the country when it comes to issues that affect children and youth. Georgia PTA believes students should have an honest and fair understanding of how our nation's history has unfolded, and we encourage and support the implementation of diverse and inclusive curricula.

Greetings, PTA Leaders & Members, wow, it's already April. I'm happy that warm weather has finally arrived and everything is starting to green up and bloom. Many of you have already held your elections for next year's officers and are starting to wrap up this year. While we hope you work for a successful transition, there is still work to be done this year.
