PTSA vice president outlines plan to dissolve PTSA and transition to WARE to centralize volunteer/fundraising work

A representative identifying herself as the current vice president of the North Parent Teacher Student Association told the board the PTSA plans to dissolve and transfer its activities to a new umbrella organization called WARE (Resources, Opportunities, Advocacy, and Relationships). She said the change aims to maintain and expand community programs such as project graduation, staff appreciation, dances and holiday outreach while reducing duplicated costs for dues, gaming licenses and accounting.

The speaker described a year of volunteer recruitment and organizational work to stabilize fundraising and operations, and encouraged community support for upcoming fundraisers including the homecoming game. No formal board action on the PTSA dissolution was recorded during the meeting.
