Frequently Asked Questions
What is the role of Mt. Lebanon Council PTA? How is different from my school's PTA?
The role of a Council PTA is to bring together the individual Mt. Lebanon school district PTAs. Council PTA offers support and leadership to the individual units. Council is the umbrella organization over the other 10 independent PTAs in Mt. Lebanon. We bring one voice to all the PTAs in Mt. Lebanon.
In addition, Council PTA provides district-wide programs as mentioned above.
At my school, the PTA president works with the building principal, who does the Council PTA president work with?
The Council PTA president works with the district superintendent. In addition, Council PTA works with the MLEA, school board, and other school administrators. Each month the Council PTA president, superintendent, and MLEA representative meet to discuss items of interest to each group.
How Council PTA were the standing committees selected?
From the inception of the Mt. Lebanon Council PTA, Council PTA has chosen to have committees that represent and include all students and families. Some of our committees encompass a broad range of topics and issues affecting the student population at large like Arts in Education (Reflections), Cultural Arts, Environmental Concerns, Health and Safety, and Juvenile Protection. Other committees are for parental purposes such as Hospitality, Human Relations, Legislation, Newsletters, Parent Education, and Technology/Website. Our Vision Screening program is a community-related program. And a few are for internal purposes such as By-Laws and Membership.
Who can attend Council PTA meetings?
Council PTA meetings are open to all PTA members. Meetings are held the first Wednesday of the month at 9:00 a,m. and are at different Mt. Lebanon schools on a rotating basis. Exceptions are there's no meeting in December, and the May meeting is the last Wednesday of the month and is always held at the HS for the presentation of the Georgia Pogue Scholarships.

We encourage you to attend. It is an excellent opportunity to hear information first hand from the superintendent and other community organizations.
What is the Council PTA's stand on the high school renovation project?
PTA has NO OFFICIAL OPINION about which direction the high school renovation project should take. Our mission is to merely inform our membership about upcoming meetings and information concerning the high school renovation and encourage our membership to offer their own personal opinions to the School Board as residents and taxpayers. For more information, please see the National PTA Position Statement on School Facilities.
