A Who's Who and Doing What for the Ben Franklin PTA.  We thank our volunteers for the leadership, time, and commitment they put into Ben Franklin.  A complete list of our Franklin email aliases is also available.

PTA Housekeeping:
The PTA wants you to understand how and where your donations go.  Even if you don't attend our monthly Board meetings, which are open to all and listed on the calendar, you can find a summary of meeting discussions and what is of concern to PTA members via the Presidents' PTA Roundup.

A monthly summary of what happened in the Board meeting and what's of interest to PTA members in general.

PTA Minutes 
The PTA Minutes for a meeting are posted once they have been approved by the Board at the following month's meeting. 

The PTA Budget is voted on at the first General Membership Meeting in September (coincides with Fall Family Night).  It is the goal of the PTA to spend the majority of the money in the year in which it is raised and to carry over only a minimum.  The current budget for 2009-10 (starting Sept2009) is available as well as the approved budget for 2010-11.  These files are posted as attachments to this web page.

It covers the highlights of the year, where the money was spent, and our goals for next year.

The place for Membership forms, Reimbursement forms, and other PTA specific forms.
 
Standing Rules (attached at bottom of this page) may be amended at the General Membership meetings, which occur three times each year.  The Standing Rules are specific to Ben Franklin Elementary's PTA.  The Standing Rules reference the Washington State PTA Uniform Bylaws.  Meetings are run according to Robert's Rules.

New Board Member Survival Packet
Just joined the Board?  Congratulations and Thank You!  Here are electronic versions of the packet you will receive.  Being a Board Member is an important job within the Franklin PTA. We take our role of supporting the school seriously and rely on electronic communications to keep our Board Members informed in advance of decisions to be made at Board meetings.  If you are not receiving email from the Presidents, please email president@mybenfranklinpta.org.
