Council Delegate 

Delegate Meetings

PTA presidents, council delegates, principals, and invited guests are encouraged to attend.

To be eligible to vote, your PTA must have paid Council Dues.

What is a Council Delegate?

Council Delegates are representatives who voice their PTA's interests at the Council level. Each campus within Plano ISD has three voting representatives at Council Delegate meetings: the Principal, the PTA President, and the Council Delegate. If a representative cannot attend, an alternate may be appointed, provided the Council Secretary is informed prior to each meeting.

Council Delegate Responsibilities

• Attend all Council PTA delegate meetings or ensure an alternate attends if unable.
• Represent the Local PTA as a voting member in the Council PTA.
