Each spring, PTO members vote for a new Board that will serve for the next school year. This ensures the smooth transition of outgoing and incoming board members and allows the board-elect to have time to plan for the next term.
PTO Board Member Responsibilities
- Required: A 1 year commitment (beginning in May). Desired: Commitment to stay on 2 consecutive years for Board continuity.
- Generally 12 hours per month. Depends on officer role. Some roles are mostly email/phone; some require more at-school presence.

- Participation in PTO-led events throughout the year
- Be a current PTO member (SPARK Supporter at $5 or more).
- A flexible and positive attitude. Willingness to support teachers and SPARK administration.
- Comfortable using email and file-sharing tools like Dropbox (since most collaboration is remote)
