We need you, yes you!  -  "Many hands make light work." 

Who can serve on a PTSA Committee?

Any parent, grandparent, or guardian who is a LaVilla PTSA member (current school year).

Is previous experience required?

While previous experience is helpful it is not required. Current board members are available to support.

Am I required to be an approved volunteer through DCPS?

While all roles do not require volunteer approval, some do in order to be on campus for events. It is highly recommended each board member is an approved volunteer.  Link to application: https://dcps.duvalschools.org/site/Default.aspx?PageID=29120
