The Elmhurst District 205 PTA Council is comprised of PTA Presidents from each of our local PTAs. 

The PTA Council provides an opportunity for the exchange of ideas and information between the local PTAs within District 205.  The Council disseminates Illinois and National PTA updates, sponsors an annual community forum in conjunction with the District 205 Board of Education, organizes an annual open house of area summer camps for children, and raises funds for scholarships awarded to York High School graduating Seniors each year. 

Dating back to the 2022-2023 school year, the Elmhurst PTA Council is asking that PTAs share their fundraising goals and plans for the school year so that the district can plan accordingly.

PTAs are asked to submit their budgets and fundraising plans to the PTA Council Executive Board by October 1st. By October 15th, the PTA Council Executive Board will share the plans with D205 Administration and members of the Board of Education. The group will ensure that all plans fit within the larger framework of the district and allows for planning time to ensure equity.  

This process gives PTA Presidents a guide to follow so they can plan accordingly and know what their role is in submitting gifts to the district. This process also appreciates the position of the Board of Education to plan thoughtfully about equity across the district and ensures that the Administration has articulated their priorities and timeline for the district improvements and advancements. The process should help eliminate most ‘ad hoc’ requests for PTAs to fund things that do not fit within their mission. Finally, it helps to give parents concrete opportunities to impact their child’s school.

The PTA Council will not be taking funds from individual PTAs or freezing PTA funds. For the complete timeline, please click here.
