Council provides training for local unit officers in September. This training session includes Foundations Leadership Orientation, which is mandated by Texas PTA for all local unit officers. There is a vendor fair planned as well, and individuals attending the training and workshops are encouraged to browse through the fair between sessions. The Arlington Council of PTAs has been a vital component of the AISD since its inception in 1967. Over the years, it has seen and experienced changes that come with the growth of a metropolitan city such as Arlington. As the AISD moves toward a premier status, Council continues to partner with the school district to promote the tenet of child advocacy that is the foundation of PTA.
