Thank you to outgoing Florida PTA President, Linda Kearschner! You have led with a tremendous amount of grace and dignity through incredibly challenging times. We are lucky to have been graced by your leadership and your example.

Thanks to National PTA President Leslie Boggs for speaking to us during #FLPTA2020VLC!

Our association is changing. Things will never be the same again. PTA will never be the same again. We are challenged to lead, listen, and learn as we navigate this new landscape together.

There’s no better time to feel comfortable having conversations about race & justice. BLM is at its strongest point. Translation into education is a tremendous opportunity for those who care about the achievement gap & racial disparities -Braulio Colon, Helios

Education is an investment and not an expense. That is a message that our legislature needs to hear and understand. - Braulio Colon, Helios Foundation

“Where students find stability is in our public school system. That stability allows them to feel that they have a future. They have hope."

Great workshop with Family Network on Disabilities at #FLPTA2020VLC! They have a lot of great resources for parents of special needs children to take advantage of, including information for helping kids navigate digital learning and school reopenings.

"Leadership first seeks humility, then seeks to understand, then to be understood. Effective leaders ask questions, motivate, inspire and provide vision. Leaders seek to lead from the heart."

Great General Session opening yesterday as we honored the 50th anniversary of the merger of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers with the National Colored Congress of Parents and Teachers to create the National PTA!

Great ideas shared at the workshop on Connecting with Hispanic and Latino Community - in Middle and High School, if parents go to Athletics, then that's where PTA should go to to be successful. Athletics and PTA can support each other. #FLPTA2020VLC

Great Legislative Wrap-up at #FLPTA2020VLC

[Alachua County Council of PTA's @ACC_PTA]

Great session on PTA Fiduciary Responsibly! As PTA’s, it’s important to be good stewards of our membership dollars. PTA budgets are approved by membership, and expenditures are made based on membership desires and guidelines from the state PTA. #FLPTA2020VLC
