There are two teacher representatives on the PTSA Board whose job is to assist in advising the Board as to staff needs and to present requests for supplies, etc. Any supplies purchased by PTSA must be ones that are needed immediately or ones that DoDDS is not able to fund. If you have any questions about a request, be sure to see one of your teacher representatives or an administrator.
Presenters are both from the school staff and community.
