2008 National PTA Outstanding Advocacy Award Recipient
The San Ramon Valley Council of PTAs is the next organizational level of PTA beyond the school site or unit level. Our council represents all 33 school PTAs and PTSAs in the San Ramon Valley Unified School District.
Council meetings are on the second Wednesday of each month and are attended by the presidents and delegates from all 33 units and the council executive board, which includes Superintendent Steven Enoch. These meetings are held in the Board Room at the SRVUSD Education Center (or district offices), 699 Old Orchard Dr., Danville, 94526.
The Council provides parent and teacher education opportunities and legislative information and events, training for PTA officers, communication to and from school district administrators, and coordination of a variety of programs for the school sites. We also award scholarships to one graduating student from each of the district high schools.
San Ramon Valley Council is a member 32nd District PTA, which is the county-level PTA organization, as well as California State PTA and the National PTA.
