NOTICE: Of Timestamp Template Updates and Proposed Changes to RAE PTAs Standing Rules

April 20, 2026

In accordance with current bylaws, this serves as an official 30-day notice that we will be voting on proposed amendments to our Standing Rules at a special meeting session on May 20, 2026, at 10:00 am CT by teleconference.

Based on the Texas PTA Standing Rules template updates that have taken place since our last Standing Rules update in 2023, two areas require member attention:

Amend Standing Rule IV. SPECIAL COMMITTEES a. Budget - Remove the mention of Financial Clerk. Financial Clerk is not a recognized position of the PTA. Only members can occupy committee positions.
Amend Standing Rule II. EXPENDITURES c. The PTA shall purchase up to two (2) historian books each school year. This is the responsibility of the Secretary and comes out of the Historian budget as funds allow. Transfer responsibility from Communications Chair to Secretary.

Note:

Section 6. Local Bylaws Template. Texas PTA manages the bylaws template, which includes all mandatory provisions. Amendments to the template are approved by Texas PTA Board of Directors and require no further action by the PTA.
