Performance Review of 2011-2012 Our Near-Successes • Volunteer organization, engagement, & tracking required more data organization and communication. • Engaging representative cross-section of the parent body in PTA events and meetings continued to be a challenge. • Event committee formation & operation was slow. • Monthly review of budget accounts with school did not take place until very late in the year. • Website content to help guide parents to resources is still limited.
