Common questions

Does every PTA/PTSA owe the same amount?

The published council dues are $200.00 for the 2026-27 school year. The optional scholarship donation is separate and can be any amount a unit is able to contribute.

What happens if officers change?

Dues are separate from officer reporting. PTACHC asks each PT(S)A to submit the 2026-2027 Officer Contact Form even if officers have not changed from 2025-2026, and to submit the officer list to Free State PTA via Givebacks. That contact information is how PTACHC sends notices about meetings, events, and training.

When are general meetings?

PTACHC General Meetings continue to be held on the first Tuesday of each month at the Homewood Center. Materials from previous meetings are available through the PTA General Meeting Materials link on the site.

What to watch for

  • Two signatures are mandatory. A single-signature check does not meet the stated requirement.
  • The deadline is fixed. Dues are due by November 1, 2026 — plan the check and mailing so it arrives in time.
  • Mail the invoice with the check. PTACHC asks units to download the Dues & Scholarship Invoice 2026-27 and mail it along with the dues.
  • Don't skip the officer form. It is a separate action from paying dues and is used for council communications.
