2010 Census in Schools

28 December 2009

The U.S. Census Bureau has created a Census in Schools program called 2010 Census: It’s About Us. The program will provide educators with resources to teach the nation’s students about the importance of the census so children can help deliver this message to their families. The program will engage America’s youth to help ensure every child and every household member is counted in 2010. Read more in the downloadable PDF

Purposes of the PTA

• To promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, community, and place of worship. • To raise the standards of home life. • To secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and youth. • To bring into closer relation the home and the school, that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the education of children and youth. • To develop between educators and the general public such united efforts as will secure for all children and youth the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education.

Insurance Altert

PTA bylaws require local units to carry insurance including director/officer, liability , and bonding to be a unit in good standing. Colorado PTA has negotiated comprehensive coverage at volume discount rates from AIM as the preferred provider for the Colorado PTA. Your AIM renewal offer will come in September or early October and should not be confused with offers from other providers that might appear to be this annual insurance renewal. A PTA unit may obtain insurance from another insurance provider as long as the coverage requirements of the bylaws are met. When considering other providers, it is recommended to compare coverage amounts and rates as well as the actions required by the provider for covering your PTA events and property. Contact the Colorado PTA office if you have any additional questions.
