HF-L PTA UPDATES

---

The HF-L PTA has been running successfully for more than 30+ years. In previous years the program was set up so each school functioned as it's own island with it's own funding, ruling body, and interest at heart. 

In early 2020 the world was turned upside down due to the COVID pandemic and at that time the New York State PTA stepped in for certain deliverables that the district had not yet provided including past due state fees, insurance fees, paperwork, and so on. A group of parent volunteers stepped up to right us in the eyes of the state and prevent our chapter from being dissolved. This has NOT been an easy change. There have been many bumps and road blocks but the remaining leadership team are still moving forward with what we feel is best for the district and our children. 

As we move forward the HF-L PTA has been restructured as one sole unit in our district. We are a public, unified school district that supports every residents child regardless of age, ability, or economic standing and subsequently ANY fundraising dollars will go where they are appropriately approved and allocated to go.

This updated structure includes the HF-L PTA executive board members including a district president, vice-president (available), secretary, and treasurer. These volunteers assist in overseeing all activities across the HF-L district as well as maintain a good relationship with the NYS PTA.

The next group of volunteers included on the district board is the chair positions which include the principals of each school (Lima Primary, High, Manor, and Middle School) as well as a parent representative for each of these schools. They are working directly together to meet each school's independent needs.

Again, we are one unified district that benefits from working together. Please join us in working with the HF-L PTA to make us better and stronger than ever.
