What it says it does

The Arcola Elementary School PTA exists as a subsidiary of the Virginia PTA and the Virginia Congress of Parents and Teachers. The Arcola Elementary School PTA operates as a 501c3 non-profit organization run by parent and community volunteers. Our mission is to make every child's potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. We work in collaboration with Arcola Elementary School and Loudoun County Public Schools, to bring programs to students including community programs, international night, school dances, after school enrichment programs, as well as fund school supply needs and arts and athletics during school hours. Our PTA serves approximately 800 students per year and their families. We have a school staff of 115. The PTA is run solely by a board of approximately six parent volunteers supported by two school administrators.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
