From time to time, local PTA units may be asked to sponsor, charter, and enter into agreements with other nonprofits, community organizations or school-based entities. These requests usually occur because another organization is looking for an umbrella or partner organization with which they can receive benefits they cannot access on their own. The benefits they wish to access could include the PTA’s (or its individual members’) financial resources, community reputation, access to space, communication channels, and other advantages that a formal or informal partnership could bring to the table. Sometimes these agreements create windows of opportunity for a local PTA, but each agreement decision should be carefully made after the PTA has done its due diligence in answering these questions.

Black History Month is a time to honor the contributions and legacies of Black individuals throughout history. It serves as a reminder of the resilience, creativity, and strength that was exhibited by Black communities in the face of adversity. This month-long observance is a crucial opportunity to amplify the voices and stories of Black trailblazers, from civil rights leaders, activists, artists, inventors, and beyond.

By celebrating Black History Month, we not only honor the past, but also recognize the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in shaping a more just and equitable future for all.
