How many years may I serve as a local unit president? Texas PTA insists that a local unit president only serve 2 consecutive years as president. It is strongly urged to find, encourage and develop new leadership at the local levels so that the same people are not holding leadership positions year after year.

May I serve as a local unit PTA officer if I am a district employee? DISD policy states that district employees may not handle money for any booster club or other parent involvement group. While this keeps employees from serving as local unit presidents or treasurers, it does not keep them from serving in other PTA positions.
