District 65 PTA Resources & Tool-Kits

These resources are developed by PEP committees, made up of PTA volunteers from across our district. The links below are the culmination of years of PEP committee work committed to identifying equitable best practices for our PTAs to use as guidelines.‍ ‍

*A principle of equity is that this is work that changes over time as we learn more, therefore these resources/documents/tools can and will change over time depending on the needs of our children.
