Standing & Special Committee Plan
of Work
A "Plan of Work" refers to the strategic roadmap outlining the goals, initiatives, or activities that a Standing or Special Committee will undertake throughout the school year.
Per our bylaws, each Standing Committee Chair and Special Committee Chair should present a plan of work to the board of directors for approval.
Please email the PTA President if you have questions about a "Plan of Work."
Off Duty Officers for Events
Our number one priority is safety. Out of abundance of caution, the Sternberger PTA hires an off-duty police officer to be on-site during our after-school events.
If you are part of a committee and need to put in a request for an off-duty police officer, you can email the PTA President for more information about this process.
