Supporting McKinley Elementary and Petaluma Accelerated Charter School — Mustangs Thrive Together!
McKinley PTA Board Members
Our PTA is made up of hard-working parents & teachers who pool their talents to provide practical support for our school. Those listed below volunteered to provide leadership this year. Get to know their names and faces, and feel free to ask them if you have questions!
The following PTA board positions are currently open. Our PTA depends on volunteers who show up to promote, support, and grow programs that support all McKinley and PACS students and families.
Board terms run one year, July through June. California PTA bylaws limit board members to two consecutive terms in the same role, so there’s always room for new people to step in. Including you!
