Coal Creek Elementary PTA
WHY CARE ABOUT PTA FUNDS?
We've heard about funding cuts at public schools for years. Heck, when most of us were kids, supplies like pencils and paste were automatically at school; our parents didn't buy them and bring them in. Sadly, some of the very basics we'd expect at school are no longer funded wholly by the school district. The PTA manages a budget of more than $85,000 a year to provide financial assistance to assure quality instruction for our children.

Curious (or unhappy) with how the funds are spent?
Do you think Music is under-funded? Would you prefer better P.E. equipment? Does your child benefit from Literacy, Special Ed or TAG support?
The Coal Creek Elementary PTA is a group of families who meet regularly to make decisions about what funds are needed to augment the school budget and where the funds would be most effectively spent ...and they help manage these programs. Being part of PTA has you being part of the solution, making positive contributions to Coal Creek. There's no better way to know what’s happening in your child’s school and community.
