Wake County School Board Chair Rosa Gill and Wake County Public School System Superintendant Del Burns today extended their support of students by joining the PTA. Gill and Burns signed up as part of a Join the PTA event sponsored by the Wake County PTA Council, the umbrella organization of the more than 50,000 PTA members in Wake County.
Gill and Burns joined the NC PTA, a statewide, community-based PTA, as a way to show support for family involvement and as a means of encouraging other community members to also join.
Each school-based PTA in Wake County and the rest of the state are automatically part of the NC PTA as well as the National PTA.
"The Parent Teacher Association is a powerful voice for the children of Wake County, and we truly appreciate the support of both Dr. Burns and Mrs. Gill," said Sarah Martin, president of the Wake County PTA Council. "It is our hope that community members, school staff and administration throughout Wake County will follow the lead of these two education leaders, join the PTA, and become active in their local school communities."
For more information, including how to join the PTA, contact your child's school.
